**Hugh Hefner**. I’ve always wanted to meet him just so I could tell him that we have the same birthday. Then on April 9th, he could invite me to the Mansion and paw me in the grotto while I got smashed on his tab. 🙂 Charles Baudelaire and the girl who played Rudy on “The Cosby Show” also share my birthday. ---
