Don Johnson Born December 15, 1949 Sagittarius The Archer Ruling Planet - Jupiter Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, Sagittarians always seem to be in the right place at the right time. Like the arrow that always finds its target, those born under this sign always seem to find themselves in the best of fortunes.  They are naturally enthusiastic, restless and too optimistic to let anything or anyone rain on their parade.  Sagittarians have a longing for the new and exciting and have an inner desire to always roam free and unrestrained. They prize freedom above anything else. They are often energetic and outgoing. Their inquisitive nature leads them on never-ending adventures that involve travel and discovery. This comes at a cost, however, as many Sagittarians drift towards relationships that are never allowed to develop deep roots. This is not to say that they cannot be excellent friends, though "no strings attached" is usually their rule. Sagittarians are very idealistic and straight-forward. They will let you know what is on their minds whether you like it or not. They possess an uncanny sense of intuition though they bore easily once they have figured something out. They are gifted story tellers and their charms and sense of humor are amongst the most liked in the Zodiac. Their honesty and candor are admired traits, but many Sagittarians easily assume that everyone else shares their integrity. Though Sagittarians live for tomorrow, they can be the best of companions. Despite their occasional irresponsibility, it is often hard to resist the charms of the Sagittarius. Sagittarians tend to be optimistic, friendly, argumentative and easy-going.

BIOGRAPHY

Donald Wayne Johnson was born in Flat Creek, Mo. on Dec. 15, 1949. As a young boy, he lived on his grandparents' farm, before the family moved to Wichita, Kan. when he was six. Soon after, his parents divorced.

Back in Missouri with his mother, Johnson began to get in trouble. After being caught hot-wiring a car at age 12, he served time in a juvenile detention center. Once Johnson reached his teens, he found he had a way with the ladies. He moved in with a 25-year-old woman when he was just 16.

After high school, Johnson won a drama scholarship to the University of Kansas. In 1969 he was hired by the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and was soon starring in productions.

Johnson's stage work won him a contract with MGM and the title role in 1970's The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart, a light-hearted drama about a young man making his way through the sexual revolution. Johnson drew on some of his own experience — by the time he was 22, he had been married and divorced twice. At that point, he moved in with then 14-year-old actress Melanie Griffith.

More minor film work followed until 1975's A Boy and His Dog, a strange post-apocalyptic picture that became a cult favorite. He and Griffith married in 1975 and divorced 6 months later.

From there, Johnson transitioned to television roles, appearing in soon-forgotten TV movies including 1978's Ski Lift to Death. In 1981, he portrayed Elvis Presley in Elvis and the Beauty Queen . In 1982, Johnson had a son with actress Patti D'Arbanville.

Miami Vice premiered in the fall of 1984, featuring Johnson as Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Tubbs. The show's flashy cinematography and compelling, if farfetched, story lines made it an immediate hit. Television's hippest show, it became a reason to stay home on Friday nights. Miami Vice attracted a slew of high-profile guest stars ranging from Frank Zappa to G. Gordon Liddy and rising talent including Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis. The show's influence also spread to the fashion world, as men across the country let their stubble grow to just the right length and purchased pastel T-shirts.

At the height of his fame, Johnson recorded Heartbeat, an album of pop music. The album's title track became a Top 5 hit in 1986. His 1989 follow-up album was Let it Roll.

Fresh and invigorating when it debuted, Miami Vice stagnated in its subsequent seasons. Marrying Crockett off to a character played by singer Sheena Easton did little to boost the show's ratings and in 1989, after five years on the air, Miami Vice closed up shop.

Johnson returned to film work in 1989 with Dead Bang, and Dennis Hopper's 1990 film noir The Hot Spot.

Johnson was also hindered by turmoil in his personal life. In 1989, he remarried Griffith, and the couple welcomed a daughter. But both Johnson and Griffith struggled with substance abuse. The pair co-starred in 1991's Paradise and 1993's Born Yesterday, but received more attention from the tabloids than they did from movie audiences. They split for good in 1995, and the next year Johnson had a supporting role in the Kevin Costner hit Tin Cup.

Recognizing the public prefers him as a cop on TV, Johnson launched the CBS series Nash Bridges in 1996, playing a quick-witted detective solving cases in San Francisco. The show was a solid performer but was cancelled by Paramount after it's 6th season. 

Johnson has also found a new love. In 1999, he married teacher Kelley Phleger Johnson, 20 years his junior. Together they have a daughter, Atherton Grace, born in December, 1999.

 

Sagittarius Sexuality Your sexuality is lively, lusty and adventurous. You love to break new ground, in sexual encounters as in everything else and you are quite willing to go for what you want. Ruled by Jupiter, the grand leader of the gods, you are expansive and all-encompassing in your tastes and interests. You are uninhibited, ready to make love on impulse and not impressed with delaying tactics, or feeble, wimpy attempts to win your favor. The most important issue for you is truth and honesty. You hate intolerance in all its forms (how's that for logic...?) and you are as open about your desires and sexual needs as you are about everything else. Guilt and shame are foreign to your sexual persona and you do not have much patience with more convoluted souls in these matters. Lusty Sagittarius lays the cards on the table (and that might be a good place to get started...!). Most people find you disarmingly friendly and you appreciate openness in return. Sex for you is fun and can be a doorway into higher awareness. You are anything but conservative in sexual matters and you are a sucker for the new and exotic, especially things redolent of adventure and far-away places. Admirers should take note that making plans for travel at the drop of a hat, or intimate accounts of personal experiences in foreign parts will get your juices running. This should be followed immediately by passionate sex before the urge ebbs away.. NOTE: Sexual Compatibility shown is a guide for long term relationships (taller=better). Signs not shown are less compatible, but sexual attractions can be formed between any of the signs. Some of the most explosive sexual combinations can be with technically incompatible signs, say Aries & Cancer, or Taurus & Aquarius. Tensions due to fundamental sun-sign incompatibilities can fuel the sexual fires, especially when other factors (moon, mars, venus & ascendant) come into play. Sagittarius Rising A Sagittarius Ascendant indicates individuals with a certain type of flexible personality that works well for them. Because of their need for independence and freedom, they are apt to constantly put themselves in changing circumstances and different environments. Such changes would, in turn, require a certain amount of adaptability. Many of these individuals put marriage off until later in life or skip it altogether unless they find understanding partners who do not attempt to be possessive or confine them. Once such an acceptable marriage arrangement is made however, they adapt and are stable, loyal spouses. They are full of energetic enthusiasm. However, their enthusiasm is not necessarily always accompanied by unflagging physical energy. They may, in fact, tend to be lazy unless highly motivated to perform. It is often difficult to engage in boring routine exercise and in spite of their innate restlessness and propensity for rushing around in a myriad of activities, they are quite capable of being unwilling (or unable) to keep themselves trim and in good physical shape. Though often rash and hasty their passions are sincere and inspirational. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, planet of inspiration, wisdom, good fortune, and abundance. These individuals are apt to be spiritually or philosophically oriented, talkative, intellectually curious, and, at times, perhaps a bit too impressed with status and wealth. Their natural exuberance and generosity are responsible for unrestrained abundance. Like those with Gemini Ascendants, they are apt to demonstrate any one of a wide range of orientations and abilities, from being great teachers, writers, scholars or researchers all the way down to those who engage in the flimflam of con artists and the intellectual emptiness of merely copying the originality and talent of others. They are apt to be very honest, though it is also true that their too-candid remarks can sometimes be misinterpreted as rudeness. The negative influences associated with Sagittarius Ascendant indicate the possibility of those afflicted with a tendency for self-indulgence which makes them pompous, grossly overweight, dependent on drugs or alcohol, or too opinionated and cynical. On the positive side, Sagittarius indicates love of drama and the theatre, good food and drink, dancing, sports, animals, and, as a rule, they never miss an opportunity to travel. They are likely to be involved with publishing, education, religion, art, or music, either as a profession or hobby.
