According to Wiki:
Mark Henry, American professional wrestler
Ryan Klesko, American baseball player
Never heard of either of 'em. But I’m not much of a sports fan, and not a fan of wrestling at all.
no one famous died on my birthday…and a soccerplayer from Lichtenstein was born - so quite a quiet day in my opinion
Born: David Boon, Australian cricketer, in Launceston, Tasmania
Dave Pelzer, American author, in Daly City, California
You may now weep with jealousy.
There’s Chris Smith of the late, lamented early 90s rap duo Kriss Kross.
And Henrik Tallinder a defenceman for the Buffalo Sabres.
Jack Soo (Nick, from Barney Miller) died the day after I was born. In world despot news, Pol Pot fled Cambodia three days before I was born, and the Shah fled Iran six days after I was born.
Nobody, the notable births end at 1989 and I was born in 1990.
To those who said Common and PJ Harvey weren’t famous - they’re both considered pretty big stars within their own genres if not the mainstream, especially PJ Harvey who was one of the most acclaimed artists of the nineties.
John Ventimiglia, who played Artie Bucco on The Sopranos; baseball pitcher Bobby Thigpen, who held the single-season save record for 18 years; and I were all born on July 17, 1963.
Others who share the date but not the year:
Hockey star Marc Savard
“Survivor” producer Mark Burnett
David Hasselhoff
Lucie Arnaz
Former Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger
Diahann Carroll
Donald Sutherland
Vince Guaraldi, composer of “Linus and Lucy” (aka the Peanuts Christmas song)
Baseball Hall-of-Famer Lou Boudreau
Phyllis Diller
Art Linkletter
James Cagney
The most recognizable (at least to me) is Sully Erna, singer for crap-metal band Godsmack.
I also share a birthday with Slovak ice hockey player Peter Bondra and Canadian swimmer Mark Tewksbury – no idea who either of them are, however.
No one famous was born on my exact. George Formby, Jr died on my birthday.
My first college roommate (randomly selected?) had the same exact birthday as me. We were literally born within minute of each other.
Collie Buddz, (Colin Harper) Reggae & Dancehall artist
Andreas Glyniadakis, Greek basketball player
Jarrod Lyle, Australian Golfer
So nobody I have ever heard of.
Prince William and I were born about an hour apart. I gave up believing that this meant I was destined to move to England and be a princess by age 12 though.
There’s still time!
Mary McDonnell is the only one I found, Jay Leno two years earlier and Sadamm Hussein a lot earlier.
Didn’t say Common wasn’t famous, said he was a famous one I haven’t heard of. (Because he does have his own Wikipedia entry, and everyone on Wikipedia must be famous, right?)
According to wikipedia, no one worth noting was born the day I was born.
sigh
Lanzy and I have the same birthday, different years. In my year, I get Jorge “Hurley” Garcia (from Lost) and Elizabeth “Is this because I’m a lesbian” Rohm (from Law & Order), as well as a Spanish footballer named Francisco Palencia who may or may not be famous. I thought I also got Penelope Cruz, but she’s a year younger.
Michelle Obama
It was a pretty boring birth day growing up (I think Muhammad Ali was it for famous folks that anyone had heard of) but now I share my actual birth date with the first lady of the U.S. ! Pretty cool.
Wikipedia list a bunch but here are the ones I recognized…
Hugh Jackman - Actor
Leon Lett Jr. - Football player
Adam Rich - Much less famous actor
Dan Marino.
How are you searching wikipedia?
I tried mm/dd/yyyy and got a mixture of things.
Is their a way to check whos born on that day?
