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

My favorite Denny Crane/ Shatner clip in the Universe!
He’s OK. It’s the ad I can’t stand.
I agree 10,000%
Janice Rand is on that montage twice. But that’s not a bad thing. And where is Vina?
I was not much of a Star Trek fan...
But, I did like watching T.J.HOOKER during 1980s...On ABC...
William Shatner is 90 years old...Really? I am getting old...
I did like watching Heather Locklear on T.J. HOOKER as well...She is now 59 years old...Her daughter is 23 years old...
In any case, happy birthday to Mr. Shatner...
OK Star Trek fans. My boasting time about Shatner and friends.
* Have his autographed card from the first season of “Twilight Zone” cards. No. A-1, “Nightmare at 20,000 Ft”.
Eat your heart out, Trekkies!!
Also have TZ first series cards for George Takei, 5th season, “The Encounter” which he signed for me.
Leonard Nimoy card, TZ, “A Quality of Mercy”.
Julie Newmar, TZ, 4th Season, “Of Late I Think of Cliffordvile”. (She was in ST as an queen).
Capt. Kirk - “original series uniform insignia”, # 012/350, 2006
* Official Star Trek Paramount autographed color photo of Shatner/Kirk
* A 1979 Star Trek three-page, double sided poster from “Star Trek The Motion Picture”, with headshots of the original Enterprise crew, Steve Collins and Persis Kambata. Signed by Shatner, Takei and Nichols.
On the panels are all the space ships featured in that movie, with specs, information, etc.
Nobody I know has ever seen this poster. It goes to my grandchildren along with all my ST cards, including at least 20-25 signed cards from packs and a few signed in person at scifi shows (William Windom).
Don’t even ask about my cards from ST:TNG; ST DS9; Babylon 5; ST: Voyager, and my other favorite space show “Farscape”. I’ve got several autographs of Gigi Edgely (in person).
Also have photo autographs of James Doohan (in person); DeForest Kelly - bought rare photo from a dealer friend); Nichelle Nichols; Takei, a great signer - also his book “To the Stars”, Leonard Nimoy - in person photo autograph as well as bid/won on a dual picture photograph signed by Nimoy and Brent Spinner.
Please don’t hate me for this folks. We Trekkies have got to band together, and if we unite with the Star War fans, we can conqueror the world.
Just hilarious. Never get tired of seeing it.
I never get tired of seeing it.
He hasn’t asked Scotty to beam him up yet.
Like clint taught us......... don’t let the old man in
Boston Legal showed up on IMDB and we started watching it.......Denny Crane!
Always be moving!
George Takei also was on an episode of MIAMI VICE...He played a guy who laundered drug money...
I can’t believe I didn’t know about that! Fantastic!
Thats funny. Whatever one thinks of Shatner’s acting ability, he doesnt seem to have let anyone hold him back from enjoying some fun even where he lacks talent. Good for him.
Happy birthday Captain. You have boldly gone where no man has gone before.
