Celebrity b-day

[dancingrugger]

I just realized that I share a birthday w/Jenna Jameson .... and Hugh Hefner, hehe, i think its a sign.

I have a very popular b-day though I think, I also share it w/one of my cousins (2 years older) and my 1st boyfriend (same year) not to mention like 7 or 8 people i went to high school with, & another like 20 i know whos is the day before or the day after.

Anyway I was just wondering if any of yall share a b-day w/someone that you think is interesting.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Well, my dad and I share the same birthday. :)

I have met *many* people who share my birthday as well, and I'm always fascinated. No one famous, though.

As a side note, my birthday is the 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany, the day the wise men visited, so if any of you need to dump some golden rings, lords-a-leaping, etc., just let me know. :D

[Miles&Cassidy]

I have a few weird b-day related items.
I was born exactly 1 hour after jimi hendrix died.
I have a friend with the same b-day, although 1 year later...This is where it gets weird...his dad was born on the same day in '44, along with his mom in '46. How strange that 3 people in the same family all share a b-day.

[FussyPucker]

I was in the same class at school with 2 other people who shared the same birthday as me!.............yup 3 of us exactly the same age!!

[Steph]

My birthday is Dec. 25th . . . besides the obvious birth on that day, I know Sissy Spacek, Cab Calloway, Sir Isaac Newton, Humphrey Bogart, Anwar Sadat, Annie Lennox and Barbara Mandrell were all Christmas babies, too.
