[Sara NoH]

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.

David Hasselhoff (OH MAN!!!)

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.
