August 19 is a very popular day to be born. There are people I know personally with this birthday (Shando, Mikey D.), and a truckload of famous persons (Pres. Bill C., Coco Chanel). But to me, the most important famous person born on August 19 is a sexy, gifted, and complex actor of film and television, who has been dampening my panties since PBS aired Surviving Desire in 1992, but even more so after T-square brought home Trust and Amateur for public viewing on the Big B TV. And that actor is MARTIN DONOVAN.

This hotness turned the big 5-0 today!
I'm not really much of a celebrity crusher or drooler. I love Douglas Coupland, but it's always been a very intellectual attraction to him. When I was thirteen, I plastered pictures of Morrissey and David Byrne all over my bedroom wall. My only adult celeb crush is the hottie above who shares the same initials as me. He is HOT and BRILLIANT in all the Hartley movies he was in and pretty sweet in that plumber movie that I saw years ago at the Seattle Film Festival.
Happy birthday, Martin!
XOXO,
Your drooly fan girl,
Mo
NOTE TO MR. NATURAL: Though I have loved Martin Donovan longer than I have loved you, I have never experienced the crunchiness of Martin's cool, delicious cucumber salad. Nor has he perfected dairy-free baking quite like you. You are both brilliant at the things you do, and don't forget that! Kisses!
NOTE TO BOB: Please don't feel threatened by Mr. Natural or Mr. Donovan. Kisses!
Posted by Zerd at August 20, 2007 12:03 AMI (still) love Mr. Donovan. But 50...that's old. That means that 12 days after his 20th birthday I was born into this world. Sigh.
Anyway, I am glad we got to share a celebrity crush, since I haven't had that many.
