Who do you share a birthday with?

blacbird · Feb 13, 2008

I wouldn't be surprised if there's another thread on this topic, but, in celebrating Haskins's birthday, it occurred to me to start a new one anyway.

So, what famous person(s) do you share a birthday with?

Me: Michael Jordan.

It's possible to be too thorough. That link says I share a birthday with Courtney Love.

It also says I share a birthday with Willy Wonka.

And The Who. How can The Who have a birthday?

They formed on your birth day. Not too hard to figure out, David.

My oldest daughter, IMO, looks very much like Courtney...a scrubbed and polished version...my wife refuses to see it though.

ETA: 2 degrees of separation. Roald was born on my birthday...Willy on yours. Roald wrote Willy. Why do I feel like singing the Free Willy song?
