Â Birthdays Today:Â Shirley Manson

Shirley Ann Manson (born August 26, 1966) is a Scottish musician, actress, and the lead vocalist of the band Garbage.

She began her career in Edinburgh in the early 1980s, most notably performing backing vocals and keyboards for local band Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie before fronting side-project Angelfish while signed as a solo artist. Having seen Manson in an Angelfish video on MTV, Garbage invited Manson to record with them as the band’s lead singer.

With Garbage on hiatus after four successful studio albums, one greatest hits compilation and over 14 million record sales , Manson will embark on a solo career and release her own record, Shirley Manson, in 2008.

Shirley Manson has been cast on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as series regular Catherine Weaver, CEO of a major technology company, Zeiracorp, for the second season. Shirley is also a supporter of the San Antonio Spurs.
