Nov 11th  
Leonardo DiCaprio (I’m sorry-can I change my birthday now?)  
Calista Flockhart (See above…never mind I’ll just eat for her)  
Hyapatia Lee (porn actress for those who don’t know)  
Demi Moore  
Barbara Boxer  
Jonathan Winters  
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.  
George S. Patton  
Fyodor Dostoyevsky  
A bunch of other people who have done bit work or got onscreen credit for being an assistant (like this means anything…)

And a few whose names I found amusing-  
Son Hooker  
Brother Theodore  
Anyone found a site that may give us more than just people with movie/TV credits?

Shirley Jones  
Gabe Kaplan

AL GORE!

Indeed, as I was born that day too 😃

Quite a dull list, though. I only recognize Lyle and Larry. Though we also share the b-day of Lynne Russell, from Headline News…

But if you scroll down a little further, you can see that Gramdpa Munster got married on November 1. Oh, what a mighty exciting day 11/1 is, lemmetellya.
