Subject: FAMOUS people who share YOUR BIRTHDAY ??

Written By: 70sto80sGUY on 05/13/06 at 3:51 am

It occurred to me a short while ago that this might be a good topic. I've provided a couple of links for you below to get this info (I'm sure there's plenty more sites, maybe more thorough / that go deeper into history).

Modification to this post .... Trimac20 (below) had trouble copying and pasting his birthday mates into this thread from one of the links below, so I have provided this one (immediately following colon) that I found had no problem (but suggest you check the other links for possible alternative offerings) Here's the link: http://www.famousbirthdays.net/birthdays.htm

P.S. Please provide the birth-date too! (a whole bunch of posts here have omitted this)

Here's another site: http://www.famousbirthdays.com/

No one exciting or extraordinary.

Hmm Luke, at 1st glance, I'd tend to agree with you .... however, I think most people would think that being a spy would be rather exciting work (James Bond for one! ;D ).... and Mata Hari was one very famous spy.

On the extraordinary angle, a quick peek at my desktop enyclopeadia confirms what I thought ... that Ralph Bunche was the 1st black man to win the Nobel Peace Prize ..... ( I don't think he'd be too happy that you don't think that makes him extraordinary .... :D ;D :D ) ....

I expect you might be American ... haven't looked at your profile ... so these extra names for your birthday may not mean much to you, as they are British or Australian: Alexei Sayle (a British comedian) ... Greg Chappell (a very well known former cricketer from a few decades ago).

I didn't bother looking up the names, like you did. ;D

Maybe they aren't as boring as I thought at first glance. And BTW, I'm a New Zealander (Kiwi, if you will) Just thought I'd clear that up. ;)

It won't let me copy and paste...the only people on the list I really know are Mischa Barton (20) - born on the exact same day as me, Neil Diamond (65) and John Belushi (57), who is of course, the only one of three not living.

Trimac20 .... you omitted to tell us what your birthdate is ... however, I was able to find out by googling on Neil Diamond birthday .... so it's January 24. This site (which I've since found) allows for easy copying / pasting :

http://www.famousbirthdays.net/birthdays.htm

(I will place it at the beginning of this thread)

This is what that site came up with for your birthday ...

January 24

Birthdays

* 1979 Tatyana Ali (actress)

1968 Will Smith (singer, actor)
* 1968 Mary Lou Retton (Olympic Gold Medalist for Gymnastics)
* 1960 Nastasssia Kinski (actress)
* 1949 John Belushi (comedian)
* 1943 Sharon Tate (actress)
* 1941 Neil Diamond (singer)

* 1941 Aaron Neville (singer - Neville Borthers)
* 1936 Doug Kershaw (musician)
* 1925 Maria Tallchief (prima ballerina)
* 1917 Ernest Borgnine (actor)
* 1862 Edith Wharton (Jones) (author)

Maybe some of those names weren't on the other site? Most people would have heard of Will Smith (Men in Black) ... and Ernest Borgnine (is he still with us ?) ... won a best actor oscar for 'Marty' back in the 50's (1955), but is probably best known for being in 'The Wild Bunch', 'The Dirty Dozen', and 'The Poseidon Adventure', + the TV series 'McHales Navy' although these may all be a bit before your time ....

* 1976 Jonathan Brandis (actor)
* 1970 Ricky Schroder SI NY, (actor)

* 1939 Paul Sorvino (actor)
* 1935 Erich von D?niken (author)
* 1935 Lyle Waggoner (announcer, skit player)
* 1926 Don Adams NYC, (comedian)

Thomas Jefferson ... if I remember correctly both he and John Adams (2nd President) died on the same day in the same year which ironically is Americas annual day of celebration .... July 4th. Erich Von Daniken achieved fame back in the 70's for a book he wrote called 'Chariots of the Gods' which suggested many of our ancient monuments were built by aliens ... reckon L. Ron Hubbard (founder of Scientology) would have liked that guy .... Ah, and the great Al Green ... loved his songs 'You oughta be with me' and 'Tired of being alone' (in particular).

July 4th 1825, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration, both of whom were instrumental in its writing. Jefferson went in the morning, Adams last words, not knowing Jefferson had died, were "Jefferson lives" :o

1980 Macaulay Culkin (actor) -- we all know this guy
1960 Branford Marsalis (musician, bandleader) -- and most know Branford too
1949 Bob Cowsill (singer) -- the Cowsills! (for you 60s/early 70s fans -- here's a random Cowsills fact: The Cowsills hold more gold records than many of the current Hall of Famers inducted as performers. )
1906 Albert Sabin (polio researcher: the Sabin oral polio vaccine) -- Cool
1904 Christopher Isherwood (author) -- I was in a play by him once
1898 (Marguerite) Peggy Guggenheim (Art collector, patron) -- been to the museum
1873 Lee DeForest (inventor) -- he got an academy award for his inventions in recording technology. But check out what he said: "To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances." - Lee DeForest, 1926
1838 John Wilkes Booth (actor, assassin) -- need we say more?

Some good people are the same age as me. If we had a born-in-1959 party, it'd be an interesting guest list:

Linda Blair
Aidan Quinn
Emma Thompson
Kevin Spacey
Jason Alexander
Simon Cowell
Bryan Adams
Judd Nelson
Tracey Ullman
Val Kilmer

Yes indeed Danoota ... actually, I seem to remember there were as many as 4 presidents who died on July 4 (well at least 3), and one that was born on July 4th ... but as for the deaths ... given that we're only into our 43rd President .... I find that extraordinary ...

Actually in the last 5 seconds, I have now just checked the facts ...born on 4th of July was Calvin Coolidge .... the other to die on that day, apart from Adams and Jefferson was James Monroe.

As for your birthday ... those are some very well known names on this list:

June 20th

1967 Nicole Kidman (38)
1953 Cyndi Lauper (54)
1952 John Goodman (53)
1949 Lionel Richie (56)

I wonder which site you got your year of death celebrity ? I seem to remember Audie Murphy as being the most decorated soldier (also an actor) of WW2 or something like that. DeForest Kelley, who was 'Bones' (Dr McCoy) in the Star Trek also appeared in a number of westerns including the 1957 classic 'Gunfight at the OK Coral' with the likes of Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

Well Mike, I checked my latest link (beginning of this thread) and it also supplied the 80's singer Howard Jones. He just missed the #1 spot in Britain with the song 'What is love', back in 1983, and also appeared at 'Live Aid'. As for that 1685 composer, I could probably handle being associated with him. I'm sure you'd enjoy cruising with that 'Easy Rider' Peter Fonda, but as for the last dude you mentioned .... 50 !!! Badfinger is THAT old ?? (That's OLD man ... what are you doing here ;) :D ;D ) . Notice you're offline now .. hopefully tucked up in bed (at your age! :D ;D :D ) .
Dude, I ain't old >:( >:( I'm freakin ancient ;D ;D but really it is so true when said "you're as old as you feel" for I feel I've been granted extended youthfullness by living a good clean life, and the love of a pretty-woman, and good friends, a good job, I've managed to maintain good health and balance and happiness. I would love to cruise with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. I don't know Howard Jones by name but if I listen to a clip it may ring a bell. good thread, take it easy.

I seriously was only pulling your leg about that ... in fact I think I have something interesting to tell you in a PM ... stand by :)
I'm used to it, especially by my younger teammates on my softball team. The razzing is normal, and it is quite rewarding when I still play well. I read that people in their 50's nowadays are in better shape than ever before due to diet, exercise, stuff like that. It's true, I see guys older than me still at the ballpark playing alongside 20somethings and keepin up. I still am planning a party to celebrate it soon.

At 1st glance, I thought that was THE Martin Luther King ... but then seeing 1957, realised that's too young (he was born in 1929) ..so that's his son in this list. Pele is regarded by most soccer aficionados as the greatest football (soccer) player of all time. Diana Dors ... with a name like 'FlUCK' ... why would she want to change THAT ?

As for 'Weird Al' .... he's right here Amanda !

:D

Hi Al....I actually thought of you when I saw that :D ;D 8)

P.S. Don't worry too much about being an 'old bag' Amanda ... if that's misery (and they say 'misery loves company') then you've got company .... 'cause 'I'm an old bastard' / 'old fart' whatever .... :D ;D :D

I'm in good company then ;)

Anyway, I wonder if somebody's conducted an age poll here and even if they have would it be accurate?

There's a poll out there somewhere. If I recall correctly the bulk of posters here were born in the late 60's.

OK I think it's obvious Mr Mister is having a larf here, I mean Tracy Austin, Dionne Warwick and Frank Sinatra are pretty prolific people, at least the latter 2 are imo..and I did also laugh at the quips but surely Dionne isn't a clown Al??
..and yeah I'd love a bit of whatever he's had!! ;D ;D
