Today In B'Days

He of the fondness for open shirts, Gary Dourdan, is 41.

Mos Def, who used to be my 4th husband (now downgraded to 8th ex-husband) is 34.

Unrelated to black film, but I just felt like letting you know anyway: Jermaine (Greasy Raisin) Jackson is 53. Time to let the flat-top go.

Gary is in a film that played at the American Black Film Festival called "Black August", the story of imprisoned Black Panther and Angela Davis' boyfriend, George Jackson. For those of you not familiar with this bit of off the hook history, when our folks were true revolutionaries, you may want to give this one a rent. Angela Davis is played by somebody named Tina Marie Murray (?!).
