The only two people I share a birthday with (January 14th) are Benedict Arnold and Gary Brolsma, aka The Numa Kid!!!
There's a lot more than that. If you look up January 14 on wikipedia they have a whole list.
The only one I know that shares the exact same birthday as me is Keira Knightley
february 18th, apparrently I share it with John Travolta
and it's the day after Billie Joe Armstrong's
A few years ago my mom asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I said I wanted to go to the art museum. We got to the museum and there were a lot of people there, which was strange because art isn't really popular in my town. We walked through and oohed and aahed at all the pretty pictures and I saw a little room off to the side where there were books about the artist being featured. That was how I discovered I have Andy Warhol's birthday. August 6. Other folks with my birthday are Piers Anthony, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Lucille Ball.
July 17th:
David Hasselhoff (OH MAN!!!)
and Donald Sutherland (Brilliant. Might I say again BRILLIANT actor)
Phyllis Diller. This made me laugh.
Well, I don't remember if I share a birthday with anyone famous, but I do know that September 18th was the day Jimmy Hendrix "choked on his own vomit and died" as the website stated.
So... I share a death day.
