Born: October 13, 1956 in Bellflower, California, USA

Married to: Dori Pierson (1989 – present)

I had been to Vancouver a few years prior to bringing The X-Files (1993) there … so, as a filmmaker, it wasn’t a discovery for me because I had friends who knew the area and had shot there before. …Vancouver really became my home away from home, and to this day I still own a house there.

Look at what we did to the planet. We ruined the planet. Take away the human beings and all their inventions and all the stuff we’ve made and the mess we make and you’ve got a much cleaner planet. It would be a lot healthier than it is right now. Would life be better for a zebra without mankind? Absolutely. Would it be better for the trees? Absolutely.

Nobody says you should stop painting when you’re 60. Nobody says you should stop writing novels when you’re 60. Nobody says that B.B. King should stop playing the blues. So The Rolling Stones go out there and people call them dinosaurs and they say, “What are you talking about? We’re reinventing what you can do at our age and if you don’t like it, OK, but don’t try to stop us.”

Happy Birthday: Laraine Day (1920–2007)

larainedayLaraine Day (1920–2007)

Born: October 13, 1920 in Roosevelt, Utah, USA
Died: November 10, 2007 (age 87) in Ivins, Utah, USA

Michael Grilikhes (7 March 1961 – 9 March 2007) (his death) (2 children)
Leo Durocher (21 January 1947 – 1960) (divorced) (2 children)
Ray Hendricks (16 May 1942 – 20 January 1947) (divorced) (2 children)

[Statement Laraine Day gave to CBS in 1968] I am very much a Republican. I think that Richard Nixon is a great man and that he is very dedicated to what he does. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I attended the Republican National Convention in Miami. You can really tell that he is willing to go out of his way to help the American people. I am proud to support him as president and I wish him all the success in the world and may I also say that it was an honor to endorse him.

Entertainment Tonight (1981) and Extra (1994), they are too salacious. They go, Oooh, Katie Couric just broke up with X. Access Hollywood (1996) is really good entertainment news. It’s not dirty, and we don’t get cheap.

Steadman! Any guy that’s got Oprah as a girlfriend, I mean that’s a good dude. I want to talk to him.

I know with me, you really have to, like, pound me over the head to say, ‘I like you. I really like you’ to get me to see it. I think if you’re too passive, you just fall into that friend role. And that’s hard to break out of.

Born: October 13, 1967 in San Jose, California, USA

My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I’d go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.
