Dick Sargent is born (1930). The "second Darrin," from 1969–1972, Sargent was Samantha Stephens' mortal husband, replacing Dick York, making the series' perpetual re-runs extra-confusing for everyone: two Darrins played by two Dicks. Sargent also portrayed an officer of the law in The Beast with a Million Eyes (1955).

Elinor Donahue is born (1937). Genre fans may best remember Donahue as a diplomatic agent on a thwarted mission in the "Metamorphosis" episode of Star Trek (the original series), but she's appeared elsewhere, too, such as in an episode of Herman's Head (1991), in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991), and also in the TV miniseries remake of The Invaders (1995).
