Do you share your birthday with someone famous?

Not me, as far as I can tell… but I was born the day after Shaquille O’Neal.

I share the same birth year as The Rock, Notorious B.I.G, Cameron Diaz and Billie Joe Armstrong (with whom I also share a surname!) so I guess I’m in good company.

Er, there are no prizes for guessing how old I am, by the way!

You missed sharing yours with me! The Shaq and I share the same date…along with Marion Barry, Tom Arnold, and Alan Greenspan…and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Didn’t worry about the year…

This pornstar / wrestling chick was born on your birthday.

Until recently, the most famous person to share my birthday was Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. I recently discovered that i also share my day with Barack Obama.

For some reason, I always remember:
Chris Burke (Corky from Life Goes On)
Macauley Culkin (sp?)
Geraldine Ferarro

…but I just found out that I also share it with Will Shortz, so I’m pretty puffed with pride.

Kate Hudson. Same Birth Year, Month, and Day. We were born on the same day.

From memory, I share my birthday with Brad Pitt, Christina Aguilera, Ty Cobb, Burgess Meredith, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Sting and Gandhi

Michelle Williams, Michael Keaton, Cardinal Richelieu.

If I had been born one day later, I’d share a birthday with Adolf Hitler.

Ray Bradbury & Carl Yazstremski

You mean, like sharing the exact same day and year?

Because if not, you’ve got a fair number of famous co-birthdayists. John Herschel, Mondrian, Luther Burbank, John Heard, Rik Mayall, Bret Easton Ellis… Tammy Faye Bakker… Michael Eisner… okay, a few of these trend toward disturbing or evil, but still…

…What the?! Franco Harris AND Lynn Swann? Dang! You’re practically a Steeler!

Not to mention Willard Scott AND Gene Shalit. So you’re also *The Today Show *on NBC.
Hmm… apparently I share my birthday with W.H. Auden, Kelsey Grammer, and the guy who played C-3PO. Great. Oh, and also Gary Lockwood… not too bad, I guess. Say… also Jennifer Love Hewitt!

Vladimir Horowitz, Jimmy Carter, Walter Matthau, William Rehnquist, George Peppard, Richard Harris, Julie Andrews, Randy Quaid, Mark McGwire.

And the first Model T.

Author John Fowles and actor Richard Chamberlain, although they are both considerably older than I am.

Mild hijack: I don’t know if it was coincidence or what, but my computer started doing a bunch of strange and horrible things when I clicked on that link: playing some kind of video popup, asking me if I wanted to download software, etc. I couldn’t get it to stop or do anything else, and eventually had to restart the computer entirely.

This may just be that I have a very bad computer. But maybe that site aggravates bad computers; so if you have a bad computer, be wary.

FDR. He was born a hundred years to the day before me.

Nothing like that happened here, either from the google link or from clicking on it here in this thread.

I’m running OS X.

Born on the very same day in the very same year as Michael Stipe. Cool!

Spotted on a friend’s dry-erase board in my college dorm years ago:

I once came across one of those coffee table books that purported to compare your relationship to ‘‘famous couples’’ based on when you’re birthdays were. I’m March 4th and my husband’s is December 28th. We found our match all right… Mao and his third wife. :smack:
