Dennis Quaid celebrates his 70th birthday this Tuesday, April 9. The actor has been married four times, including to Meg Ryan.

Quaid now lives with his wife, 40 years his junior, in Tennessee, away from Los Angeles and the addictions that almost killed him and focused on his music. The son of Juanita, a real estate agent, and Will, an electrician, already studied dance and theater in high school and was clear about his path at university, in his native Houston.
