1941 - Jesse Jackson
Civil rights activist and former national director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (a big part of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s plan to promote civil rights through the use of boycotts). Following King's assassination, Jackson could not get along with Ralph Abernathy (King's successor as head of the SCLC) so he resigned and formed his own group. In my opinion this is where the civil rights movement started to break apart - and I blame Jesse Jackson for putting his ego above the needs of the people. Since then IMHO he has done little to really help his people, instead he has pretty much just been a media whore (again, that is just my opinion).

1943 - Chevy Chase
A member of the first cast of Saturday Night Live, but many people know him from his role as Clark Griswold in the National Lampoon's Vacation films. My favorite of his movies is "Fletch".

1949 - Sigourney Weaver

"Alien"



1955 - Bill Elliott
"Wild Bill from Dawsonville" is how his NASCAR fans know him. He has 2 Daytona 500 victories and won the 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Championship. Sonny Purdue (our present Govenoer her in Georgia, declaired October 8 as Bill Elliot Day... hope you are enjoying it!)

1970 - Matt Damon
He won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay for "Good Will Hunting" which he also stared in. I think he also makes a pretty good action movie hero.
