NAME A CELEBRITY WHO WAS BORN THE SAME YEAR AS YOU

[Skittles]

I'll start: Michelle Pfeiffer

[44wax]

1. JFK Jr. was born in 1960

My first memory of seeing something on tv was Little John saluting his dead father's funeral procession. I remember asking my mother why that little boy was on the tv. She really could not answer. Later my father told me that his dad was the president and he was killed by people who did not want folks like us to get ahead.

2. Kevin Spacey..............nt

3. I have no clue

But I do know that Elvis keeled over on his toilet a few months after I was born.

On edit:
As a side note, I also discovered a while back that the character Fox Mulder was born on the same day as me -- I think the X-Files people picked that day because it was a Friday the 13th.

9. After checking out that site

I think I can safely say that I am the most famous person born in 1979 :eyes:.

[Ivory_Tower]

22. Jon Vomit?

No idea who he is, but he was born in 1979. Great name.

Other than Aaliyah, yeah, it looks like '79 is a dry year so far...hey, this is your opportunity to shine!

[fortyfeetunder]

24. Osama binLaden is couple of weeks older than me....

He was born on 10 March 1957....
and one thing we have in common....both trained as engineers...that is where the similarity ends.

NOTE: edited to add trivia.

7. Johnny Rotten

n/t

[screwfacecapone]

8. re

Alicia Keyes (1981)

[baffie]

10. Donny Osmond - 3 days before me.

[bleedingheart]

11. Rachel Hunter Same year , month... day

and I look like her too...NOT!

hee hee

[NightTrain]

12. Stacy Lattisaw

R&B singers in the early 1980s. We were both born in 1966.

[carolinayellowdog]

13. Same day *and* year: Katey Sagal, Kevin Nealon

BTW Pfeiffer and Daniel Day Lewis were both born the same day and year.

Just googled my month, day, and year of birth to see what historical reference to it I'd find on the net. No historical info of note but I did find my two astro twins.

[carolinayellowdog]

19. Other 1953 babies: Kim Basinger, Kathie Lee Gifford, Pat Benatar,

Mary Steenburgen. The men are more relevant to the "How well am I aging compared to..." question. The answer is quite well compared to Ron Jeremy, Dennis Miller, Hulk Hogan, or Tim Allen; about on par with John Malkovitch and Carl Hiassen.

[camero]

14. Tim McGraw

Born the exact day as me. May 1, 1967

[SaveABug]

[noiretextatique]

25. Micheal Jackson

i think

[ForrestGump]

31. Wasn't he from Gary, IN?

EDIT: oh, duh......I got this suddenly confused with the 'where were you born' thread. And here I was wondering why you couldn't decide whether you were from LA or the industrial Midwest.

[morningglory]

[Cheswick2.0]

Jerry Hall
Linda Hamilton
Mimi Rogers

28. Bill Gates

I keep thinking that should be enough for Bill to share with me a few million of all that money he can't possibly spend, but he never quite gets the idea.

[Coffee Coyote]

30. Lauren Graham

[dofus]

32. Here's a few from my birth year:

Wolf Blitzer, , David Eisenhower, President Gore and his lovely wife Tipper.
