What famous person (living or deceased) do you share your birthday with?
With just 365/6 days in a year, there is a lot of repetition on when we mortals are born. So….who do you share the same day and month with for a birthday? I’ll jump in first.

I prefer to think of it as John Adams sharing his birthday with me. Hey, and Bill Halsey. I didn’t know that before! Scorpios rule.
And the Fonz. Ehhhhh!
A few that immediately spring to mind for various reasons are….
Margaret Thatcher Spits on floor!
Sacha Baron Cohen I liike!
Paul Simon You can call me Al, quite literally.
Marie Osmond Cheesy toothbeast.
Paula Abdul is the only one I know of without google!
Thomas Jefferson His actual date of birth and what is shown on his tombstone is April 2, but this was based on the Julian calendar, which was abandoned for the ‘new’ Gregorian calendar in 1752. This caused an 11-day shift in the date, so his birthday was April 13 after that time. Had they not changed the calendar my birthday would be April 2.
How weird would it be for your birthday to change during the middle of your life?
He and Samuel Beckett are the only two I knew without doing a Google, but there are a few more:
Al Green
Ricky Schroeder (he’ll always be Ricky to me)
Don Adams (Max Smartwell)
Max Weinberg (drummer for Bruce Springstein and Conan O’Brien’s show)
Tony Dow (Wally from The Beav!)
Garry Kasparov (lost chess to Deep Blue)
Jonathan Brandis (kid from Neverending Story)
Where are all the women?
Patty Duke and Nostradamus, not necessarily in that order.
Found a couple of women:
Catherine de’ Médici (not sure if it counts due to calendar explanation above, but I’m claming it)
Caroline Rhea
Cuba Gooding Jr,
Isaac Asimov
Count Basie
Kenny Rogers
KimCatrall
Wilt Chamberlain
Princess Margaret
Me, myself and I.

@erichw1504 For some reason, I find that extremely sexy.
Jessica Biel, Norman Bethune, Alexander Graham Bell, and, my favorite, Charles Ponzi
Billy Mays is the only one I’ve heard of. I guess the moon landing makes up for the lack of shared birthdays though.
I share my birthday with:
Julius Caesar
Queen Victoria
Bob Dylan
& the Brooklyn Bridge
Hey, I thought it was cool! :P~
Patti Smith and Bo Diddley
I’m pretty happy to discover that!
For me, Karl Lagerfeld.
