1838 Edwin A Abbott, Schoolmaster and theologian, the author of the mathematical satire and religious allegory Flatland is born.

1869 Charles Grapewin who protrayed Uncle Henry in The Wizard of Oz is born in Xenia Oh.

1963 Daleks first appear on Doctor Who. Exterminate? Exterminate!!

1970 Nicol de Boer, Star Trek DS9's Ezri Dax is born. I've said it before, but Jadzia was much better and leaving for the other show was a mistake.

1953 Robert Beltran Star Trek Voyager's First Office Chakotay is born.

1963 Terry Farrell DS9's Jadzia Dax is born. Honestly, I think Jadzia is a better Dax that Ezrie. And the actress that plays Jadzia moved on for BECKER. Not a grand choice if you ask me.
