OK, I have tried doing a search on this and so far have not found what I want. I once had bookmarked, and then lost, a website that had a calendar containing the birthdates of a humongous amount of people, so that if you wanted to find out who shares YOUR natal day you could impress them. There are several sites I have found, but most only have half a dozen or so for any given day. For example, I know that Anthony Hopkins and John Denver(ugh) share my day, which is December 31st. But the site I remember, and can’t for the stupid life of me find again, had a couple dozen. This site din’t go with just current celebrities, but had historical figures from at least the last five hundred years. I am going to keep searching, but if anyone could give me a hand I would appreciate it. ---

I’ve seen them [here](http://us.imdb.com/OnThisDay?day) on IMDB’s “on this day” page. Hope that helps a bit. ---

LifeOnWry, how much before or after 1954 were you born? And does it bother you that we share a birthday with John Denver(shudder) I mean, I don’t mind Hopkins, Kingsley, or even Kilmer, but DENVER! Ack. Thanks for the replies everyone. So far they aren’t the one I had, but theres some great stuff I hadn’t seen before that I have had fun looking at. ---
