samarm, that’s actually a great bar bet. Wikipedia calls it the birthday paradox: namely, that in a room with 23 people, the odds are 50-50 that two of them share the same birthday (month and day, not year). With 57 people in the room, the odds go up to about 99% certain that two people share a birthday.
And me, I was born November 17, 1971. No famous birthdays … not even any famous death days.
Rebecca De Mornay, Tony MacAlpine–guitarist, Chris Hadfield–RCAF/astronaut, STS 74, sk: 99, Michael Jackson, John McCain, Ingrid Bergman and Henry V, king of England.
I thought that the OP was referring to the very same day (i.e. date and year), in which case no, but I was born the day Hosni Mubarak became president of Egypt.
Actually, Wikipedia tells us that there was someone born on my birthdate: the mellifluously named Minnesota Twin, Boof Bonser.

(Then again, one of my uncles has the same birthday as Hitler, so I guess it’s not too bad. Still…)
And in another two years, I’ll make him proud. As to other famous March to the 11th-ers, my favorites are Thora Birch, Bobby McFerrin and (hehe) Lawrence Welk. I’m sure there’s others, but I can’t remember them from when IMDb shows them daily.
