Notables: Joan Cusak Luke Perry MC Lyte That’s it…just them…the rest I haven’t heard of…Apparently my birthday isn’t a big spawning day for stars. Stephen Krstulich was born on that day in 1983, making him my exact age. Upon my search for his credits, I found but one: an extra in The Waterboy. I must admit I was saddened by this information. And finally (and I preface this by saying I randomly clicked a few random people’s names and that is the ONLY reason I know this)…I’d like to say that Victoria Andrews was born on this day…“Who is she?” you may ask. Perhaps I should list a few of her movie credits: “Chug-a-lug Girls 4” “Live Sex” “Nipples” “Passenger 69” AND it’s sequel, and yes…even the smash 1993 hit “Seymour Butts in Paradise” Sweet mother of mercy, I share my birthday with a 32-year old porn star. :o ---

My birthday is on May 1, and I share that birthday with Ray Parker, Jr. If his name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe these lines from one of his songs will help : ``` "If there's something strange in the neighborhood Who ya gonna call?....... GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!" ``` Yeah, I know that I am just the luckiest girl in the whole entireworld because I have the distinct honor of being born on the same date of such a creative musical genious. ---

It’s amazing to learn that I share my **June 29th** birthday with such notables as former congressman Fred ‘Gopher’ Grandy (R-IA) and adult film actress Kaitlyn Ashley, star of such classics as Anal Intruder 11 and Blonds who Blow. :rolleyes: Meanwhile, on that date, among those who died were Lana Turner, Bob Crane, Jayne Mansfield, Roscoe ‘Fatty’ Arubckle, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Were it not for my entrance on that date, I’d have to grade it a net loser overall. ---
