Born in Missouri in 1906,Huston was an early performer alongside his vaudevillian father. Young adulthood found him on Broadway, and after dabbling in a variety of arts Huston settled on screenwriting.
His script for 1941’s The Maltese Falcon earned him the director’s chair on the film; a critical and popular hit of classic proportions, John’s Hollywood status was sealed. He won Best Director and Screenplay Oscars for 1948’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and had thirteen additional nominations for directing, writing, and even acting.
John Huston died in 1987.

Happy Birthday: Loni Anderson
Loni Anderson
Born: August 5, 1945 in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
Re-married in 1973 (to another actor, Ross Bickell), the couple decided to move away from Minnesota to Los Angeles in 1975 and actively pursue film and television work. Pounding the proverbial pavement, she eventually went blonde and this, plus her gorgeous looks, helped her to secure minor but sexy roles on such series as S.W.A.T. (1975), Police Woman (1974), Barnaby Jones (1973), Three’s Company (1976) and The Bob Newhart Show (1972). By the time she nabbed the role of Jennifer Marlowe on “WKRP in Cincinnati” (and, with it, two Emmy nominations), she had grown quite admirably as an actress.

Michael Cummings (16 March 1985 – present) (1 child)
I’ll always be struck by how much a part of people’s lives Marcia is and always will be. But now, I’m not bothered by the connection. It took most of my life, countless mistakes, and decades of pain and suffering to reach this point of equanimity and acceptance. – Interview, 2008
There was a point in my life when I wanted to run as far away as I could from the Bradys and just shun it, but now I embrace it. It was a huge part of my past, and the cast mates and I will always have this bond. No matter how much time goes by without us seeing each other, it’s just like old times again.
