Birthday: Stockard Channing is 69 today

Stockard Channing, Tony Award-winner and 7-time nominee is 69 today!

Easily one of my favorite actresses who's career spans huge successes like the film GREASE (most successful movie musical of all time) for which she won a People's Choice Award, the hit TV series THE WEST WING for which she won an Emmy Award, and several critically acclaimed Broadway productions like 6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION, OTHER DESERT CITIES and A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG.

I saw Stockard on Broadway in 6 DEGREES (Tony and Academy Award nominations) and it was truly one of the best performances I've enjoyed on the NY stage. Brilliant, thoughtful and "in the moment."



Happy, happy birthday Stockard!
