Actor William Shatner aka Captain Kirk is born in Montreal, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Quebec, Canada.

In his early teens he got a job in a military company and got into theater at the age of 15, where he played a member of the Royal Canadian Forces. Shatner was well known for his comic style and as such was quite a fan of both classic and modern cinema. His first feature film "Chinatown" was directed by Paul McCartney, and he made the first ever movie feature film titled "A Night to Remember". His best known role was as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Strategic Command in Iraq, which became one of Shatner's best known projects from 1995 to 1998.
Sunday 21st April 1931 constituted the third day of the 'Dancing in Paris' concert. This was celebrated by many for its spectacular performances, most of the evening was spent on music, dancing and performances by Shatner. On the 17th the show's audience decided to march over the stage with "Carry on, it's my turn". This was considered one of the most important performances during his career for many due to its huge amount of special effects, including a special effect (complete with a giant neon head which stood like a giant giant neon penis! A huge one!).
