Since **Kyla** mentioned our great ancestor in common Mussolini, I thought I’d share a few more famous July 29 birthdays. \*\* Booth Tarkington Rasputin (Oh like you wouldn’t be proud if he shared your birthday too!) Theda Bara William Powell Daj Hammarskjold Clara Bow “Professor” Irwin Corey Nancy Kessebaum Elizabeth Dole Peter Jennings Marilyn Quayle (Ok, so I’m not so proud of that one) Gary Busey Martina McBride\*\* ---

Mine is _October 5, 1970_\*. I know I’m getting old when I see people with birthdays in 1986 and 1987 and realize that they’ve graduated from high school! Okay, not as old as some of you other bastards, but old nonetheless. 😛 \*October 5 is the most common birthday, according to Marc Summers on _Unwrapped_. ---

A school classmate and I shared the same birthday. We were born at the same hospital, just a few hours apart. Another friend insisted that I marry him because we had the same birthday. He thought we could get married on our birthday and he’d never have to worry about remembering my birthday or our anniversary! I also share a birthday (though not the same year) with Julio Iglesias, Mickey Rooney, Bruce Springsteen, Dwight Yoakam, Jason Alexander, and Augustus Caesar. So, how about it: September 23, 1977 anyone? ---

May 30, 1976. I know of one other person with that exact birthday. Our mothers shared a room at the hospital when we were born and we went to school together.
