Do you share your birthday with someone famous?

Alan Moore.

Per wikipedia:

[ul]
[li]Galba, Roman Emperor. First emperor during the Year of the Four Emperors.[/li][li]King John of England, enemy of Robin Hood and signer of the Magna Carta.[/li][li]Lemmy Kilmeister, who needs no explanation[/li][li]Ricky Martin[/li][li]Yildiray Basturk, Turkish footballer[/li][li]Ryan Seacrest[/li][li]Benjamin Rush. I wish it were Geoffrey Rush instead.[/li][/ul]

Those are just my personal favorites, one of whom shares my specific birthday (including year). Lots of Christmas eve babies have been getting screwed out of birthday celebrations down through the centuries.

Siouxsie Sioux, Ramsey Lewis, Henry Kissinger, Cilla Black.

5[sup]th[/sup] August:

The only one I know of is Neil Armstrong. Doing the same degree that he did, too, which I quite like.

December 31st: John Denver, and Cher (I think).

Quasi

July 22nd - the only one I remember is Laura Palmer. I’m not sure that counts, what with her being fictional 'n all.

Oh, having done some research, I can add Rufus Wainwright, David Spade, Willem Dafoe and Alex Trebek to the list.

Second thoughts, I think I will stick with Laura Palmer.

Yep-7 February, with Charles Dickens.

I didn’t think mine had anyone special, but I looked at wikipedia once more and found one:
Nov 27
Bill Fucking Nye the Science Guy

They should be, because you’re a member along with me and Valerieblaise of the 222 club. George gets to be the president, though… Trust me, don’t challenge him on that point.

David Beckham
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Donatella Versace
Engelbert Humperdinck
Dr. Benjamin Spock
Lily Allen

and SDMB legend…Jenna von Oy!!!

And Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Baker, and twickster!!!

Feb 1 - Clark Gable, which is okay, but if only Mom coulda sat on it until the 4th…Alice Cooper!

My friend Karen nailed it, and never lets me forget. Matter of fact, the last time I saw her was at an Alice concert.

Richie Zambora and Sela Ward. Mmmmmmmm, Sela Warrrrrrd!

December 21.
