Celebrity birthday highlights for January 10, 2026:

Actor William Sanderson (1944) made a career out of unforgettable oddballs, bouncing from "Blade Runner," to "Newhart," to the frontier grime of "Deadwood."

Singer Rod Stewart (1945) carried the Faces' swagger into a solo run that turned "Maggie May" into a classic, and he won a GRAMMY for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for "Stardust...The Great American Songbook, Volume III." In 2024 he teamed up with Jools Holland for the big-band romp "Swing Fever."

Singer Pat Benatar (1953) teamed with Neil Giraldo to build a platinum-era run, with hits like "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Heartbreaker," and "Love Is a Battlefield." A four-time GRAMMY winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she's still touring with Giraldo through at least the beginning of 2026.

Actor Evan Handler (1961) thrives as the guy who says the blunt thing out loud, whether it’s the "Sex and the City" universe or the showbiz spiral of "Californication."

Actress Trini Alvarado (1967) built a film run that includes "Little Women," "Stella," and "The Frighteners." She later added TV work like "Fringe," and the true-crime miniseries "The Staircase."
