Simon Pegg shares my Birthday exactly - 2/14/1970. Most others I’ve never heard of or aren’t all that, with the exception of Florence Henderson, Gregory Hines and Teller.

A bunch of other people I never heard of until I Googled as a result of this thread. For some reason, my name didn’t appear on the list of notables. I’ll have to look into that.

Oh, and Miley Cyrus.

Celebrity’s what I share a birthday with?

Oh you meant celebrities, the plural of celebrity. 😛

Without even looking at the linked site, I know Tyra Banks has the same b-day as me.

So, if I believe this particular website, I get Brigitte Bardot (nice!), Ben E. King (cool!), Dita Von Teese (naughty!), Ed Sullivan (who I have heard of!), and Thomas Crapper (crap!).

And also a rather larger number of “celebrities” whose fame is probably rather more specialised than the website seems to think it is.

Happy birthday to me!

(No, seriously, it’s my birthday).

No one ever guesses my sign. You would think 1 in 12 would, but no one ever does. Apparently people with my sign are supposed to be tight-assed, neat-freak, Type-As, who make a lot of lists, and alphabetize things. And are good with money. Hah. I am living proof of why that is all malarkey.

Bob Saget  
Sasha Alexander  
Craig Ferguson  
Maureen O’Sullivan  
Sugar Ray Leonard

and, ugh, Idi Amin

Also a 19th-century British writer I’d never heard of, Anna Jameson. I like the quote they had from her:

“In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness, in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.”

I also share a birthday with one of the New Kids on the Block, but can’t remember which one and can’t be arsed to look it up.

My birthday is the same day, month and year as Halle Berry. And I have to hand it to her. She looks almost as good as I do.

I only knew of one, Beth Riesgraf, Parker on Leverage, so did a quick Google search. One name seemed to be on the top of most of the lists that came up. Rupert Grint. And that was just the first of many people I have never heard of.

Three out of the four of the following:

Patrick Stewart  
Harrison Ford  
Cheech Marin  
Julius Caesar

Those are the four I always remember, and then I look it up, and I’m wrong about one of them. So I’ve decided not to look it up any more and be content with those fellows.
