TODAY IS
Kaitlyn Olson turns 42 today, which is 175 in actress years. She has her own FOX series now, "The Mick." Give it a couple of episodes and you'll be hooked.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played Theo on the Cosby Show, turns 47 today. He could discover a cure for cancer but would probably still be remembered best as "Theo." Hopefully, he didn't take after his TV dad.
Christian Slater ("Mr. Robot") and Edward Norton both celebrate their 48th birthdays today. Separate parties, of course...
Denis Leary turns the big 6-0 today and sounds like a living Ford Truck commercial. For goodness sake, if you're buying a gift for him, get Denis another 'n' for his first name. Don't worry -- he's built Ford tough.
Legendary actor Robert Redford turns 81 today. He gave us the Sundance Movie festival, which will experience a brief eclipse on Monday.
Director Roman Polanski turns 84 today. He gave us "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" but surprisingly didn't have a thing to do with "Hand that rocks the Cradle."
