Madison’s television career began in 2007 when she landed the role of the tough and witty Annie Lisbon on the CBS hit series The Mentalist, opposite of Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, and Henry Thomas (E.T.). Her work on The Mentalist was quickly followed by her portrayal of the hard-as-nails Krissy Chambers on the CW hit series, “Supernatural,” working opposite of Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Madison went on to appear on other hit television shows such as “Mad Men,” “Teen Wolf,” “Modern Family,” “NCIS” and “Girl Meets World” before landing the role of one of the most anticipated characters of the Fall 2016 season: Artemis (DC Comics) on The CW’s hit series, Arrow.

Happy Birthday: Robert Patrick

robertpatrick.jpgRobert Patrick

Born: November 5, 1958 in Marietta, Georgia, USA

[on his preparations when he was cast as the T-1000] My intention was just to be a good adversary for Arnold to match. To match and be superior in character that you would believe that I could get the upper hand on him or else the whole movie wouldn’t work. I obviously had a great deal of faith in Jim Cameron and Stan Winston and everyone involved, so that was where my commitment was, to really pull this off. I didn’t want to let him down or let anybody down but I had hoped it would be this memorable, I had an inclination it would, but I don’t think I realized what an impact it would have, and how it would change my life.

Happy Birthday: Sam Shepard

samshepard.jpgSam Shepard

Born: November 5, 1943 in Fort Sheridan, Illinois, USA

Personality is everything that’s false in a human, everything that’s been added on to him and contrived.

“The people the critics write for aren’t important to me. As far as I’m concerned, Broadway just doesn’t exist.” Quoted in the August, 1970 issue of Playboy (page 19).

[on working in films] “It’s all about narcissism. Terrence Malick called it ‘sanctioned vanity’. Everything is attended to. Would you like some Perrier? Anything we can do? May we throw ourselves on the ground in front of you? This unbelievable barrage of indulgence”.

Married to: Kim Garfunkel (18 September 1988 – present) (2 children)
Linda Grossman (12 October 1972 – 1975) (divorced)

I asked myself constantly why I didn’t marry her, because surely she was the apple of my eye. She was everything I was looking for in a woman. But I was very hurt by my first marriage, so as far as marriage to Laurie was concerned, I was extra scared. I was heartbroken. It laid me low. I used to get very sad when the sun went down. The nights were very lonely for me. [About his relationship with Laurie Bird]

I thought I was going to go to college and pick one of the more reputable professions and be an upright citizen. All of that seems like so much nonsense now. I guess it doesn’t do too well…

Lucile Ascolese (8 May 1933 – 8 June 1936) (divorced)

In his autobiography, “Happy Trails: The Story of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans,” the former Leonard Slye stated that his stage name of Roy Rogers was given to him by executives at Republic Pictures when he became their new singing cowboy to replace Gene Autry. The Rogers came from Will Rogers, the beloved western comic and storyteller who had recently died in a plane crash in Alaska and Roy was made the first name because it is the French word for “king,” as in “Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys.” Roy…
