Famous people born on your exact birthday?

Me too :slight_smile:

Also Dennis Rodman.

Melissa Etheridge was born the same day I was, May 29, 1961, and not too far from where I grew up, in Leavenworth Kansas. Freaky.

Melissa and I will be 50 next year. :frowning:

Hilmir Snær Guðnason, Icelandic actor. Woop-de-do.

Stephanie Romanov, from Angel.

Japanese wrestler Flying Kid Ichihara.

Jazzman Duane Eubanks. Yes, the brother of Kevin and Robert.

Louise Currey, retired Australian heptathlete. Yes, I’m stretching the definition of “famous” a bit at this point.

He’s famous for his standup routine “You might be a faeniindersteHelvette if…” on the Blue Herring Comedy tour with Lars der Kabel Guy.

Michael Jackson and I share Aug 29 as a birth date. Different years.

I could list more if I knew how you are searching wikipedia.

I just typed the month and day, and they provide a list of notable events, births, and deaths chronologically. Scroll down to your birth year and there you go.

Speaking of deaths, I’ve got “Herbert Strudwick, English cricketer (b. 1880).” I’m assuming that means he played cricket, not that he was a famous profiteer of selling crickets.

New Zealand soccer player Jeremy Brockie (not on their WC team this year) and American tennis player Sam Querrey, currently ranked #21 in the world and a doubles partner with John Isner, the guy who played the marathon Wimbledon match.

Same day, different year: Desmond Tutu, Joy Behar, Oliver North, John Cougar Mellencamp, David Halberstam, Vladimir Putin, Yo-yo Ma, Simon Cowell, Evan Longoria.

According to wikipedia I share a birthday with several soccer players and an actor:

Jaque Fourie, South African rugby union footballer
Akeem Omolade, Nigerian footballer
Ryan Lonie, Australian football player
Dante Senger, Argentine footballer
Adam Deacon, English Actor

Also, the day I was born, the first woman was appointed to the Supreme court of Canada.

I note with some dismay that March 4th, 1519 is the date Hernán Cortés arrived in Mexico.

Gwendolyn Hajek, Playboy’s Miss September 1987. Perrier-Jouët at my place, Gwen? We can blow out the candles around the bathtub!

Of the four listed on Wikipedia, the only one I’ve heard of is Jorja Fox (TV actress best known for CSI).

Todd English a celeb chef is the only exact match. That Explains my appetite. :wink:

July 29, 1954 - Flo Hyman, Inglewood Calif, volleyball player (Olympic-silver-1984).

Oh well, I take consolation in the fact that, though we were not born in the same year, I share a July 29th birthday with Rasputin and Benito Mussolini. :smiley:

ETA: Historyorb is a fun place to look up stuff like this.

Cad Clark Gable, Supafreak Rick James, and fellow vodka lover Boris Yeltsin.
Not a horrible group, really! :slight_smile:

Not only on the same day but also in the same year, our “Love Story” roommate and “Inventor” of the Internet whose assault case in OR appears to be coming to a boil.

But then there’s also Joseph Hayden, the man who thought and therefor was, the grape boycotter, author of “To His Coy Mistress” and Dr. Kildare to balance the rascal out.

Where’s the wimmins?

I wondered why I was beating all you weenies so soundly, and that’s when I reread the OP. Oops! I can’t believe nobody has soundly mocked me by now. Anyway, my loss is utter and absolute. Nobody famous has been born in my day and year. My only saving grace is that this is largely due to my youth.

Suck on that, old farts!

Swats Autolycus with rolled-up newspaper :stuck_out_tongue:

Keeley Hawes for me

On my exact birthdate:

Jerry Chamberlin, an “American musician” who I must confess I’d never heard of…nor did I know any of his bands when I looked him up. Apparently several country-rock outfits that enjoyed only regional or under-the-radar success (one album produced by Al Perkins…at least I know who that is!).
Same day, different year:

George Harrison

Emitt Rhodes (two years before me…a real hero of mine, so I was thrilled when I found out about this several years ago)

Faron Young (great country singer – committed suicide in 1996)

Doug Yule (The Velvet Underground)
…others of some renown, but it’s the musicians that count most for me.

Nevermind.

Erykah Badu and I were born on the exact same day, in the exact same state (but 281 miles away from each other).

Also: a couple of other people I’ve never heard of, but who are nonetheless important enough for their own Wikipedia page.
