What Famous Person Do You Share a Birthday With?
 

Saw this topic in another group and it is a fun topic.

Who do you share a birthday with?

Me, I celebrate on the same day as:
Jimi Hendrix
Bruce Lee
Chick Hearn
Jaleel White (Steve Urkel)
Robin Givens
Caroline Kennedy
Eddie Rabbit
Buffalo Bob Smith

And apparently I was born on the same day as Rebecca Michelle Ferratti, the May 1986 Playboy Playmate

One of my favorite bits of utterly pointless trivia about myself: I share my birthday with Harry S Truman. And my was born one year to the day after he died.

Gael García Bernal
Clay Aiken
Prince Akishino of Japan
Ben Stiller
Billy Idol
Mandy Patinkin
David Mamet
Ridley Scott
Abbie Hoffman
G. Gordon Liddy
Dick Clark
Robert Guillaume
Richard Crenna
Allan Sherman
Virginia Mayo
Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
Sir Winston Churchill
Mark Twain
Andrea Palladio
Andrea Doria (the explorer, not the ship)

Colin Powell.

Meryl Streep
Steve Martin
Cyndi Lauper
Donald Faison
Alicia Goranson.

There's, like, a lot more celebrities with my b-day date, but I can't really remember anyone else.

EDIT* John Dillinger also shares my birthday. I feel so dangerous.

Mickey Mouse, a few B-list celebrities....

And apparently Owen Wilson and I are the exact same age - same date of birth.

Princess Diana

Born the same day as Nixon, and I remember when Truman died. We got the day from school. Same with LBJ, who died around the same time.

All of which calls to mind the question for you late '70s born types: About what events do you look at people born ten or so years later and say, "I pity those yutes because they don't remember _____."

Me, I remember the moon landing, Watergate, Viet Nam and even the 1968 assassinations with some clarity. Not to mention the 1969 Mets and that great early 70s CBS Saturday night lineup. Someone older than I am might say, "So what, you didn't cry for JFK." Someone even old would bring up WWII.

So?

First things that come to mind:

Gulf War Episode I
Fall of the wall
Kirk Gibson's homerun
The birth of MTV
The arrival of VCRs
LA Riots
Challenger
