Born March 22, 1931 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, William Shatner has been an indelible part of popular culture for a good portion of a century. Though he’s most recognizable as Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek film and television franchise, Shatner’s career has encompassed everything from the earliest days of television to spoken-word recordings to his own sci-fi book series (TekWar).
The nonagenarian will have a birthday celebration the weekend of July 23, 2021, in Ticonderoga, New York, when he attends a gathering at a replica Enterprise set. In the meantime, we’ve compiled 90 of the more compelling facts and details of the actor’s life and career

Twitter has the following blurb on his profile :
"Today is their birthday"
Shattner doesn't have any of those idiotic pronoun specifications set on his profile (like he/his or they/theirs) but Twitter used "their" anyway.

I can’t believe its been ten years since he was on American Pickers and they sourced stuff for his KY home, his wife’s horse ranch.
He’s divorced from her now.

I thought so too. I’ll admit that I had a crush on her Bat Girl in the ‘70s. She was right up there with Lindsay Wagner’s Bionic Woman.

And I suppose after he’s gone to his final reward, we’ll still be seeing him peddling SoCleans, like Larry King hawking a prostrate “cure”.
Some people never go away.

Are you not a fan of Boston Legal? This was a fabulous show ... great cast and writers!
Shatner was terrific in it.
