Within 10 days on either side Peter Weller (exactly) Anette Bening Drew Carey Jane Wiedlin Ted McGinley But if you look at my YEAR… a pretty major selection, including Madonna, Michael Jackson and a whole bunch of others. 1958 was a pretty big boomer year. ---

Judy Star (uh, don’t Google that one at work) has the same birthday. [Jay Baruchel](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0059431/) (one of the Rogen/Apatow regulars) was born one day after me. [Chyler Leigh](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0500200/) (of Not Another Teen Movie [shut up, I like that movie]) two days after me. Seth Rogen one week after me. ---

Natalie Portman was born nine days before me. I searched wikipedia to find a closer one who I’d heard of, and found Chris Evans (the Human Torch from _The Fantastic Four_), born five days before me. ---

Man, what have I done with my life? [Tiffany Mynx](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0617077/) was born the same day as me, and she’s been in 258 movies! I haven’t even been in _one_! If you haven’t heard of Tiffany\*, I guess I’d go with [Johnnie Morton](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0608019/) (3 days older than me), or [Sacha Baron Cohen](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0056187/) (3 days younger). \*How could you not have heard of her?

I didn’t recognize anyone born on my same day. Hockey player Brendan Shanahan is two days older than me. If he’s not well known enough, Katheryn Morris and Mo Rocca are three days younger. ---

> [@Sigmagirl](#): > > Well, OK. I said “mass murderer” because I didn’t know what else to call him; I guess I should have said “cult leader.” It was David Koresh. Hmm, we’re in the same ballpark, but since Rebecca de Mornay is 12 days closer to my birthday and not an insane cult leader, I’m going with her. ---

I’m not familiar with actress Andrea Anders (whose credits include _Oz_, _Joey_, and _Better off Ted_), but apparently we share a birthday. Enrique Iglesias was born two days before me. ---

Sean Lennon was born on the same day and year as me. John Lennon and Sean Lennon were also born on the same day, in different years, which is an odd coincidence. This does now mean I’ve told you all my exact birthdate. Oh well. ---

> [@Polycarp](#): > > 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. Wow - Prince Andrew and I were due at the same time, and I beat him by one day. He was born on 2/19/1960. My mom also followed news of the impending Royal birth closely. ---
