I was born in 1963 and will be turning 48 this year.
People who turned 48 in 1963 were born in 1915.
Here are some famous people born in 1915:
Zero Mostel
Muddy Waters
Billie Holiday
Harry Morgan
Orson Welles
Moshe Dayan
Ingrid Bergman
Frank Sinatra
Barbara Billingsley
Only one of these people is still alive. 
People twice my age were born in 1894. Wikipedia says the world’s oldest living person was born in 1896 …
Very few people who are still alive.
It’s worse than that. I’m convinced Harry Morgan is an immortal entity who was not really born in 1915. He looked the same in “Inherit the Wind” as he did in “3rd Rock from the Sun.” Vampire? Angel? Demon? Your guess is as good as mine.
Every real mortal born in 1915 is dead.
I see that George W. Bush’s grandfather would be twice as old as me, if he hadn’t died decades ago.
I don’t want to play anymore
I’ll be 57 later this week, so I guess it’s that person born in 1896 that Twoflower mentioned.
In my case, they would have been born in late 1879. The best-known person born then is Joseph Stalin, who would be 131 years old now, and be very unhappy about the break-up of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc.
They were born in 1923, and the list of people born in that year has a lot of filled in death dates but there are some who have survived
Notably:
Chuck Yeager
Henry Kissinger
Jean Stapleton
Shimon Peres
Dr.H Morgentaler
Bob Barker
Hard to believe they’re all the same age actually.
Methuselah
1911:
Ginger Rogers

1903–John Dillinger and Elliot Ness, as well as Dr. Spock, George Orwell, Irving Stone and Vladimir Horowitz. And some US ambassador to Canada–do we have a lot of diplomatic problems with Canada?!?
