Still married after all these years, which is rare in the entertainment business!
I believe this is
Kate Wagner,
Robert's daughter, interviewing Dan and
Donna.
Please let me know if I'm wrong.
Thanks.

Daniel Edward "
Dan" Aykroyd, CM (/ˈækrɔɪd/; born July 1,
1952) is a
Canadian actor, comedian screenwriter and singer. He was an original cast member of
Saturday Night Live, an originator of
The Blues Brothers (with
John Belushi) and
Ghostbusters, and has had a long career as a film actor and screenwriter. In
1990, he was nominated for the
Academy Award for
Best Supporting Actor for
Driving Miss Daisy.
Aykroyd is a permanent resident of the
United States. He maintains his
Canadian citizenship. In
1983, he married actress
Donna Dixon, with whom he starred in the movies
Doctor Detroit,
Spies Like Us, and
The Couch Trip. They have three daughters,
Danielle,
Stella and
Belle. He maintains his Canadian roots as a longtime resident of
Sydenham, Ontario, with his estate on
Loughborough Lake.
Aykroyd considers himself a Spiritualist, stating that:
I am a Spiritualist, a proud wearer of the Spiritualist badge. Mediums and psychic research have gone on for many, many years
... Loads of people have seen spirits, heard a voice or felt the cold temperature. I believe that they are between here and there, that they exist between the fourth and fifth dimension, and that they visit us frequently. His great-grandfather, a dentist, was a mystic who corresponded with author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on the subject of Spiritualism, and who was a member of the
Lily Dale Society.
Other than Spiritualism, Aykroyd is also interested in various other aspects of the paranormal, particularly UFOlogy. He is a lifetime member of and official
Hollywood consultant for the
Mutual UFO Network. In
2005, Aykroyd produced a
DVD titled,
Dan Aykroyd:
Unplugged on UFOs. In it, he is interviewed for 80 minutes by UFOlogist
David Sereda where he discusses in depth every aspect of the
UFO phenomenon, and reveals specifically that they are blue, not green, but appear that way because of a filter.
On
September 29, 2009,
Peter Aykroyd, Dan's father, published a book entitled
A History of
Ghosts. This book chronicled the family's historical involvement in the
Spiritualist Movement, to which Aykroyd readily refers. Aykroyd wrote the introduction and accompanied his father on a series of promotional activities, including launches in
New York and
Toronto, an appearance on
Larry King Live and various other public relations initiatives. Aykroyd also read the introduction for the audio version of the book
.
Donna Lynn Dixon (born July 20,
1957) is an
American actress. Donna was born in
Alexandria, Virginia. She began her career as a model and was named
Miss Virginia USA in
1976 and
Miss Washington DC
World in
1977. Dixon co-starred with
Tom Hanks in the early
1980s television comedy series
Bosom Buddies; however, her pageant-like performances continued to determine her typecast roles.
Months after they worked together in the
1983 film Doctor Detroit, Dixon and actor Dan Aykroyd married. They later starred together in the
1985 film Spies Like Us and the
1988 film The Couch Trip. Dixon and Aykroyd have three daughters. She retired from acting in
1997.
The song "
I Still Love You", from the
KISS album Creatures of the Night, was written by
Paul Stanley for Dixon upon her ending their relationship.
