Dan Marino and I were born on the same day, month, year. We’re exactly the same age.
Not a famous person, but while growing up my best friend and I shared the same birthday. We were even born in the same hospital on the same floor on the same day. I was a couple of weeks overdue, and used to joke that I’d been waiting for him to finish.
Farrah Franklin.
Also an Asian singer I’d never heard of before, the late U;Nee. It also so happens that Christopher Cross, James Brown, and Bing Crosby have the same month and day as me (but not year).
No wonder I’m so musically inclined!
(OK not born the same year, but the same day)
Hitler
Tito Puente
Sulu (George Takei)
Carmen Electra
Miranda Kerr
Same exact day/year is only:
Johnny “The Bull” Stamboli (but I’m not much of a wrestling fan)
and being 4/20, other stuff is also celebrated on that day (other then the oil spill, Columbine, etc)
With a name like that he had to go into porn.
Mine:
Auto was born the year after me on the same day, so I’m claiming those, but marking off points for none being part of his birth year. In 1983, we have:
Christian Klien, Austrian racing driver
Teshome Getu, Ethiopian soccer player
Georgios Gougoulias, Greek footballer
Wikipedia has nothing listed for 1984, which is Auto’s year.
Yes I was, but not on February 29.
After some further research, I did find two people. I did this by typing in my month and date of birth rather than my year of birth in Wikipedia. The two (neither of whom I’ve heard of) are Paul Thomson (drummer for Franz Ferdinand) and Matt Thornton (relief pitcher for the White Sox).
Dwayne Gordon, linebacker for the Chargers and the Jets, and Reginald Arvizu, bassist for KoЯn.
Same day:

Same date, not same year:

Mark “Jacko” Jackson, Australian rules football player best known in the USA for a battery commercial. “Get Energizer – It’ll surprise ya – Oi!”
According to Wiki: 1948 – Ken Brown, Canadian ice hockey player
Oh great.
Nicole Scherzinger, American pop lead singer (Pussycat Dolls)
I feel so priviledged.
July 29, 1981 was the wedding date of Charles and Di, July 29, 2000 was the wedding date of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and also July 29, 2000 was the wedding date of dhkendall and the lovely and sexy Mrs. dhkendall.
Guess which ones are still married?
Whee! Geek heaven for me!
What I’m really looking for, though, is a reliable site that can tell me, for example (note completely making up this data, don’t take this seriously, I’m talking to you Internet, I know how wrong Internet data gets started!) that April 23 is National Peanut Butter Day or September 9 is Take your Goldfish to Work Day or something like that. I’ve found a few sites, but I greatly suspect most of their holidays (case in point, most look like my examples.)
nm - wrong thread
I know this is an old thread, but I looked up the info so I’m posting it, darnit.
Born same day: Guitarist Dave Keuning of The Killers (pisses me off because “Human” was one of the most persistant earworms I ever had… and now it’s back!)
I also found out that Kate Gosselin is only one year older (I thought she was in her 40s!) and Lady Gaga is exactly 10 years younger (I thought she was my age). From this we can conclude that I suck at guessing ages
I used to think Russell Crowe, but now think I’m off a year. Still, Jackie Chan? Never knew! Good On You, wherever you are!
According to Wikipedia, I share my birthday with Jessica Parker Kennedy, Canadian actress; Jaclyn Linetsky, Canadian actress; Maria Ozawa, Japanese/French-Canadian pornstar; and David Silva, Spanish footballer
Had I been born half an hour later, I would instead share it with Jéferson, Brazilian footballer; and Amanda Mynhardt, South African netballer.
I’ve never heard of any of them. (If you weren’t worried about the year, I have the same birthday as Elvis Presley (of whom I’ve certainly heard) and missed sharing Richard Nixon’s birthday by half an hour.)
Nobody I recognize, but apparently I was born on same day that Bing Crosby died.
Stephanie Romanov, model/actress (Angel)
Alexander Zarutsky, former Russian footballer
Albina Kamaletdinova, 2008 Olympic archer from Tajikistan
Louise Currey, Autralian heptathelete/javelin thrower in the '92, '96 and '00 Olympics
