Cybergirl -- the Australian SciFi series largely targetting a youth demographic -- shows up in my SciFi and Fantasy research from time-to-time, but I've yet to see a single episode. Premiering on this day back in 2001, the program served as a vehicle to deliver Ania Stepien to the masses-at-large; and it did win the 2001 trophy for 'Best Children's Television Drama' from the Australian Film Institute during its time in original broadcast rotation. Here's the series' premise as provided by IMDB.com:
"A renegade human prototype Cybergirl crash-lands on Earth to explore the humanity on which she is partly modelled. She takes refuge with fourteen-year-old Jackson Campbell and his bemused father Hugh, who welcome into their family this young stranger with such astonishing powers. Desperate to experience life in the glorious metropolis of River City, Cybergirl assumes a human identity as Jackson's cousin Ashley, and so begins her exploration of the challenges and excitement of life as a teenage girl."

On this day in 1930, the character of The Shadow entered radio broadcasting history by showing up as the narrator of the Detective Story Hour. With his popularity on the rise, it was only natural for the mysterious man with the ability to cloud mens' minds to branch out on his own, and a cultural icon was born. [Source: Wikipedia.org]
The venerable Don Murray did what he could in taking a stand against the Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972). Murray was born on this day in 1929. [Source: IMDB.com]
That big fella up there on the left is none other than Ted Cassidy, and -- for the record -- he lurked his way into Star Trek history with the portrayal of Ruk in the first season episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" For those of you keeping score, he also went on to play Bigfoot (twice) in the mid-70's SciFi series The Six Million Dollar Man. Though he's no longer with us, Cassidy was born on this day in 1932.
Don't let the man's dour expression fool you: as an actor, Geoffrey Lewis knows exactly what he's doing. With over four decades in the entertainment business, Lewis popped up in all kinds of projects, including guest roles aboard Ark II, The Six Million Dollar Man, Quark, Amazing Stories, The Lawnmower Man, The X-Files (pictured above), and Odyssey 5. Though he's no longer with us, Lewis was born on this day in 1935.
The lovely France Nuyen has a solid relationship with genre projects. She's probably best remembered for her appearance aboard NBC's seminal Star Trek series, but she's also visited Dimension 5 (1966); The Horror at 37,000 Feet (1973); Battle For The Planet Of The Apes (1973); The Six Million Dollar Man; Deathmoon (1978); Automan; and The Outer Limits. Nuyen was born on this day in 1939. [Source: IMDB.com]
For reasons subject to some debate amongst serious film historians, the 1970's served up some rather bleak cinematic Science Fiction, one of the oft-overlooked being Z.P.G. (aka Zero Population Growth) (1972). It was restored and rereleased by Kino Lorber in 2017 and probably deserves another look by serious fans of the genre. In it, the lovely Geraldine Chaplin defies the rules set down by society and has a child all of her own. Chaplin was born on this day in 1944. [Source: IMDB.com]
Very early in his professional career, Richard Griffiths played one of the terrorists attempting to blow up the Eiffel Tower in Superman II (1980) from Warner Bros. Much later, he enjoyed a string of appearances across the Harry Potter films. Though he's no longer with us, Griffiths was born on this day in 1947. [Source: IMDB.com]
Aboard Galactica 1980, Barry Van Dyke (picture above left) played Lt. Dillon for all of the program's ten-episode run. The actor also found fandom as part of Gemini Man, Wonder Woman, The Powers of Matthew Star, and Airwolf. Van Dyke was born on this day in 1951.
Alan Autry found himself battling some of those dastardly space Intruders for Dan Curtis Productions. Autry was born on this day in 1952. [Source: IMDB.com]
James Read doesn't boast all that much SciFi to his portfolio available on IMDB.com, but he did play Jaffen in a special two-part episode -- "Workforce" -- of Star Trek: Voyager. Read was born on this day in 1953.
Wow. What a career one must have to star in not one but two massively successful sci-fi franchises! Michael Biehn first came onto screens as Kyle Reese, a soldier from our future sent back in time to save Sarah Connor from The Terminator who'd come back to kill her. And what a great introduction to the series he gave us! Then, a few years later, James Cameron brought the star into the Aliens franchise, giving him a star-turn as Corporal Hicks, who fights the aliens side-by-side with Sigourney Weaver. Biehn was born on this day back in 1956.
Screen veteran Al Sapienza boasts a massive resume, having been a part of over 200 productions. Genre fans might recognize from his work in Dark Skies, The Burning Zone, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, Arrow, The Flash, or Ascension (pictured above). Sapienza was born on this day in 1956.
Dirk Blocker is a veteran character actor who has made appearances aboard such progams as Salvage 1, Beyond Westworld, Starman (1984), Quantum Leap, and The X-Files. Blocker was born on this day in 1957. [Source: IMDB.com]
Actress, writer, and producer Jan Broberg may not have any huge SciFi and Fantasy credentials to her name (yet!), but she's certainly no slouch, either. In between her commitment to her own projects (namely an award-winning documentary focusing on her own abduction as a child), she's managed to squeeze in small roles aboard Touched By An Angel, Passage To Zarahemla (2007), Iron Man 3 (2013), and Colony. Broberg was born on this day in 1962. [Source: IMDB.com]
Actor and convicted tax cheat Wesley Snipes did the crime and served his time, but SciFi fans know him best as former icicle Simon Phoenix who came out of the deep freeze to find himself going mano-a-mano against supercop John Spartan in 1993's Demolition Man. Snipes was born on this day in 1962.
Though I loathe the woman's politics and her first Harry Potter book was a bit of a snore for me, J.K Rowling earns my respect for instilling in young people everywhere the love of literature. Rowling was born on this day in 1965. [Source: IMDB.com]
I was never much a fan of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and that's mostly because I'm a Superman traditionalist: just gimme Big Blue in his suit fighting the forces that would destroy our world, not this mamby pamby tongue-in-cheek romance stuff. Still, ya gotta "respect the S" as they say, so join me in wishing Dean Cain a Happy Birthday! He was born on this day in 1966.
Gattaca (1997) is one of those rare SciFi films that -- year after year -- keeps popping up in research I do to update SciFiHistory.Net. In it, Loren Dean played Antonio Freeman (pictured), one of the picture's successful criminal investigators. Dean was born on this day in 1969.
Not every actress gets the chance to "act in space," but -- if they do -- we definitely try to draw attention to their work here at SciFiHistory.Net. Such is the case with lovely Christina Cox: she played Jen Crane aboard ABC's Defying Gravity for its short-lived season. The actress has also booked roles in genre properties such as First Wave, The Outer Limits, Earth: Final Conflict, Code Name: Eternity, Stargate: SG-1, Mutant X, Andromeda, The Chronicles of Riddick, Stargate: Atlantis, and Elysium. That is an impressive resume indeed! Cox was born on this day in 1971.
As an urchin, the lovely Tami Stronach enjoyed her big screen debut in the cinematic Fantasy The NeverEnding Story (1984). Stronach was born on this day in 1972. [Source: IMDB.com]
The lovely Emilia Fox played 'Morgause' aboard the BBC's popular Merlin series. Otherwise it looks like her resume is full of period pieces and mainstream procedurals. Fox was born on this day in 1974. [Source: IMDB.com]
The lovely Annie Parisse enjoyed a guest spot aboard Fox TV's stellar Fringe during that show's run. Parisse was born on this day in 1975. [Source: IMDB.com]
To most folks, that quiet and unassuming face belongs to the equally quiet and unassuming 'Ryan' on NBC's long-running office as played by actor B.J. Novak ... but to Marvel fans he's remembered as 'Alistair Smythe' from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). Novak was born on this day in 1979. [Source: IMDB.com]
In The Butterfly Effect 2, Eric Lively played Nick Larson (pictured above), a man whose brain tumor grants him the ability to alter history by studying related pictures. Lively was born on this day in 1981.
Everyone knows I'm no huge fan of Marvel, but I do appreciate good work: count Wunmi Mosaku's turn as a tough-and-rumble temporal enforcer in Walt Disney's Loki streaming series as a winner. This award-winning actress has also paid a visit to the world of DC Comics' movie universe with a role aboard Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice (2016). Plus she's paid visits to the world of Fantasy with work aboard Black Mirror and Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them (2016). She's definitely one busy lady! Mosaku was born on this day in 1986.

Shirtless or not, young Charlie Carver continues to turn heads in genre entertainment with his work aboard The Leftovers and Teen Wolf. Carver was born on this day in 1988. [Source: IMDB.com]
While building her resume in the entertainment business, Alexis Knapp has given SciFi a try with a role aboard The Anomaly (2014). Knapp was born on this day in 1989. [Source: IMDB.com]
The multi-talented Zelda Williams has brought her gifts with such properties as Teen Wolf, The Legend Of Korra (animated), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (animated), and Stitchers. Williams was born on this day in 1989. [Source: IMDB.com]

Premiering theatrically on this day in 1981 (two years after it was completed) in West Germany, The Day Time Ended probably came and went pretty quickly. Directed by John 'Bud' Cardos from a script by Wayne Schmidt, J. Larry Carroll, and David Schmoeller, the film starred Jim Davis, Christopher Mitchum, and Dorothy Malone. Here's the film's plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"Aliens visit the solar-powered house of a middle-class family, and the house is suddenly sucked into a time warp that transports it back to prehistoric times."
For the record:

A star is born! On this day in 1987, De Souza Productions and Warner Bros. Television went deep into genre territory with the broadcast television premiere of The Spirit! Written by Steven E. de Souza and directed by Michael Schultz, the Fantasy feature starred Sam J. Jones (of Flash Gordon fame), Nana Visitor (of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fame), and Bumper Robinson; and here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"When Denny Colt, detective for the Central City Police Department, survives an assassination attempt by criminals, he is still believed by the public to be dead. He decides to use to his advantage, since being "dead", he isn't subject to the rules that bind regular cops. To this end, he equips an abandoned tomb in a graveyard into a residence and headquarters and prepares for a new career. With that, he becomes the Spirit, a mysterious crime fighter whose only costume is a blue business suit, fedora hat and a little eye mask. His first major case pits him against P'Gell, a femme fatal who has criminal designs on the city."

Aside from being a die-hard SciFi enthusiast, I'm fascinated by the U.F.O. phenomenon. One of the very best films exploring what may or may not have happened to launch America's fascination with flying saucers was the SciFi/Telefilm Roswell which aired on this day back in 1994. According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Beginning at a 30-year reunion for members of a military nuclear bomb unit, flashbacks are presented that follow the attempts of Major Jesse Marcel to discover the truth about strange debris found on a local rancher's field in July of 1947. Told by his superiors that what he has found is nothing more than a downed weather balloon, Marcel maintains his military duty until the weight of the truth, however out of this world it may be, forces him to piece together what really occurred. Adapted from real-life events portrayed in the book _UFO Crash at Roswell_ by Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt."
For the record:
The retelling of the 1947 alleged crash and recovery of a downed flying saucer was met with some critical praise. It enjoyed a nomination from the 1995 Saturn Awards in the category of 'Best Single Genre Television Presentation,' and it also enjoyed a Golden Globe nomination in the category of 'Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television.'
