Notable celebrity closest to your age

Cafe Society
1

Beau Bridges was born on Dec/9/1941. That’s within a week of my birthdate. I found the entire list of 1941 Births helpful in finding the “notable celebrity” nearest my date.

Using the similar page(s) for your birthdate, find who is the nearest “notable celebrity” to you. He/she ought to be recognizable to the typical Doper.

Others born on my actual birthdate wouldn’t pass that test, so I looked for the closest one I felt sure y’all would know.

Mods, if this looks more like a game than a Cafe Society issue, by all means please move the thread. Thanks.

Though we were Americans, and not overly Anglophile ones at that, my mother paid strict close attention to the progress of then-Princess Elizabeth’s pregnancy; she was carrying me at the same time. And the future Prince Charles and I were ‘due’ on the same day – as it turned out, I won the race to be born by a week.

3

Matt Damon.

The most upsetting one near my birthday in 1961 is Barack Obama. Huh, he gets to run a big scary country and I achieve nothing. :frowning: Even nearer to my birthday was Diana Spencer, but she was not exactly impressive.

This is mildly depressing.

The only ‘celebrity’ within a week is a cricketer (Graham Gooch).
However I do have some interesting names of people born within a week of me that I’ve never heard of:

István Maszlay
Somayya Al Alfi
Steve Erdody
Rawleigh Moreland
Biff Pocoroba
Tudorel Filimon

Gillian Anderson - she’s 7 days older than I am.

7

Chris Klein, of American Pie fame, and I were born on the exact same day.

8

Trace Adkins and I were born on the same day, January 13, 1962. I’m not a country music fan, but hey, there it is. Kim Coles was born 2 days before me, and Jim Carrey, Sebastian Junger and Denis O’Hare were all born 4 days after me, on the 17th.

I’m doing just great for pop stars – Avril Lavigne and Ashlee Simpson are a few days older than me, and Katy Perry a few days younger. :frowning:

10

For me it’s Natasha Richardson, who is four days older. I had no idea until now that I’m exactly 10 days older than Mike Myers.

11

The person that I’ve heard of born closest to my birthday is Aung San Suu Kyi (according to the Wikipedia’s list of birthdays).

12

It looks like I’m only a few days older than Alicia Keys.

13

Hilary Swank was born six days after me.

And she has *two *Oscars. Damn it.

14

Awesome! Brian Baumgartner, Kevin from the Office, and I were born on the same day.

15

Looks like Amy Fisher, the Long Island Lolita, was born 5 days before me.

Rapper Mase was born one day after me.

16

I’m a day older than the oldest Home Improvement kid, Zachary Ty Bryan and a day younger than “Smalls” from The Sandlot. I think I’ll go with him, a Home Improvement kid is just embarassing…

17

I had to go three days away to find anybody I’ve even heard of, and he’s a notorious mass murderer who shall remain nameless. Sheesh.

18

The only “celebrity” born on my birthday is Michael Copon, who seems to be a successful TV character actor, with small parts in everything from One Tree Hill to CSI. Though he’s not really famous.

But one day before me the unquantifiably beautiful Anne Hathaway was born.

19

Me and Chamillionaire are born on the same day.

And a bunch of others, but I don’t recognize those names.

Damn! I almost posted Richard Speck before deciding that’s not the tone I had hoped to create for the thread!

Come on, who’s your creep?
