Salma Hayek.
Woah, change that to You can have dinner on one famous person that shares your birthday.
No contest: Charles Addams (7 January 1912).  
I’ll trade you Jenny McCarthy for her.
nm
No way. Jenny is a funny nutcase, but she has that vaccine thingy.
Salma is born in 1966. I had no idea she was almost an ancient as I am.
I didn’t know she was younger than Keanu Reeves.
Heh. I wouldn’t trade my Robert Mugabe for Jenny.
Notables on my list are:
Myrna Loy
Carroll O’Connor
Peter O’Toole
Garth Hudson
Wes Craven
Victoria Jackson
I think Garth Hudson would be the most entertaining person for me. I’d like to hear about touring with Dylan, and also the many other musicians with whom he’s performed over the years.
We have the same birthday. It’s a tough call for me.
Clint Eastwood – I could politely forget his bad night at the Republican Convention and enjoy listening to him talk about movies.
Chris Elliot – he’d probably be a hoot.
Colm Meaney – c’mon, he’s Chief O’Brien!
Colin Farrell – Hmm, seems like an interesting guy, but I’d hate for him to be intimidated by my looks and charm.
Brooke Sheilds – she’s only a couple years older than me and is gorgeous. If our spouses gave us the night off…
But, I think I’ll go for Terry Waite. I don’t know a lot about the guy, but what a life story he has. I’d pick up the tab becausse I am a nice person.
I like a fun dinner date, so I’m going to bypass George HW Bush and even Anne Frank and go with John Linnell of They Might Be Giants.
Lucky bastard. As the 30ish sophisticate Nora Charles (The Thin Man), or the 40ish mother Millie Stevenson (The Best Years of Our Lives) … Yowza!
I’ve got an embarrassment of riches: Julie Andrews, Rod Carew (same year), Jimmy Carter, Richard Harris, Laurence Harvey, Donny Hathaway (same year), Vladimir Horowitz, Walter Matthau, Mark McGwire, Bonnie Parker, Randy Quaid, William Rehnquist, and someone named Outerbridge Horsey VI.
Well, I think I can narrow it down to Julie Andrews, Jimmy Carter or Vladimir Horowitz.
And after much deliberation, I cannot pass up dinner with Julie Andrews, who is exactly 10 years my senior.
Wow! Wouldn’t it be great to tell her what impact her diary has had on the world.
Sure! Let me know when Bob and Steve have agreed to swap birthdays. ![]()
I knew right away that it would be Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. Think of the spread for dinner! In St George’s Hall! And you know that the Brits are picking up the tab on that feast. I’d totally be asking him stuff about the Royal Navy and such. And I’d bring my boss since it’s his birthday, too.
Hmm… a partial list:
Francis Scott Key
Herman Melville
Dom DeLuise
Yves Saint Laurent
Jerry Garcia
Joe Elliot
Chuck D
Coolio
Adam Duritz
Tempestt Bledsoe
I think I’ll go with Jerry Garcia, I bet he would have some stories to tell.
I knew about Woody Allen and Bette Midler, but not Cryiol Ritchard or Mary Martin or Treat Williams. They’re all good choices. I’d probably go with one of the first two. I’ve watched Woody Allen’s films for years, read his writings and his plays. And I saw the Divine Miss M on stage in Fiddler on the Roof on Broadway.
Wow - I’ve got a LOT of choices! It’d be a toughie but I think I’ll go with William Shatner. 
I share a birthday with Grover Cleveland and John Updike (And Queen Latifah, LOL)
