Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

March 10, 2010

Rocketship X-M, Adventures of Superman, The Lost World, The Shadow Strikes, Tarzan's New York Adventure, Destination Moon, Mom Fish, Tron Legacy.

Lots of great actors and actresses today including Jeanne Evans who starred as Mrs. Brown in the 1956 movie, The She-Creature. In 1956, American International released this film on a double bill with It Conquered the World.


Also, I'd like to point of it's Chuck Norris's birthday. He's never done anything in sci-fi or related genres but there is a connection to sci-fi if you look at the brief bio below.
