Now you can use me in your replies to the OP.

:smiley:

I share mine with Orange Skinner apparently. And Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey, Kid Rock, James Earl Jones, Betty White, Eartha Kitt (the Dopers are on their way to getting the Catwomen covered), Vidal Sassoon, Al Capone, Mack Sennett and ANNE BRONTE!! (as well as Skinner’s already noted Andy Kaufman, Sheri Lewis and Benjamin Franklin).

I think we 17 Jans win.:cool:

Actually, it appears to be Desi Arnaz, Jr., which isn’t nearly as interesting. Hmmph. At least you can add me to your list.

I knew about Poe, but I didn’t know about Dolly or Janis. Cool.

I missed George Burns, McCoy, and my dad by about 2 hours.

I think Frank Sinatra was born on December 12, also, but I don’t know what year.

Not forgetting Lee Majors and some guy called Kal.

Both Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, disturbingly enough.
