And a bunch of people I’ve never heard of.
Now that you know my birthday, I want prezzies!
Almost no one of consequence, to my very mild dismay. The usual mix of writers and minor actors and not much more.
Sep 25.
Will Smith. William Faulkner (yay). Michael Douglas. His Mrs.
I share a birthday with both Vincent Price AND Christopher Lee! I knew I should’ve stuck to the whole horror acting thing!
Hey, me too! And Sid Vicious. And Fred Astair and Rick Santorum too, hooray! But what’s really cool is that my birthday is Whacking Day.
Vladimir Putin and Yo Yo Ma.
How did I not know Putin and I have the same birthday? Weird.
TV actress Jorja Fox isn’t listed at that link, but she has the same birth day (including the year) as I.
Of the ones who are listed (and don’t share the year, just the day of the year), I’ve long known about Robert Heinlein, Gustav Mahler, and Ringo Starr, but I didn’t know or didn’t remember Jim Gaffigan.
