Who shares your birthday?

[browneyes]

I found out in 1865 the coffee percolator was patented on my birthday.

 

[snoopy]

Mick Jagger and I have the same birthday, but he is 20 years older than me.

And God knows he looks every bit of those 20 years he is older than me. I can never understand how hottie Mick Jagger turned out to look exactly like Barney Fife. I guess all the drugs and partying.

 

[Tony-NJ]

Thomas Jefferson

 

[preshi]

Tom Cruise

and apparently it's Stay Out of the Sun Day (U.S.)

I can tell you this without looking anything up:

Elvis Presley DIED on my birthday.

I remember it because it was my 18th birthday, I was out shopping with my friends for some things for going off to college. We stopped at one of the girl's grandma's for a visit and it was on the news when we got there.

One of those things that sticks in your brain.

I will have to look up to see what GOOD things happened on my birthday.

Copernicus, Lee Marvin and Smokey Robinson.

I'm pretty sure it is different years for all of us, however!

My Dad.
DS was also due on that day but I had him 10 days early.

Wodrow Wilson and Dame Maggie Smith too.

 

[Talking Hands]

Girls Scouts were founded on my birthday
Lizi Minelli and Edward Albee share my birthday

John D. Rockefeller

1835: The Liberty Bell cracks in Philadelphia while tolling the death of Chief Justice John Marshall, who died July 6.

 

[JOC]

Chris Noth, Whoopi Goldberg, Joe Mantegna, Dack Rambo, Jean Seberg, Garry Marshall, Richard Mulligan, Jack Elam, Robert Louis Stevenson.

BethR - that's our anniversary. I specifically picked that day because my husband is bad with dates, and since we're Elvis fans I figured he could at least remember that date!

 

[BethR]

Well, I sure wasn't born on a very exciting day historically.

Babe Ruth died on that day too.

Menachem Begin and Shimon Peres, Frank Gifford and MADONNA were born on that day as well.

 

[Steve H.]

Gautama Buddha

I already knew that Hank Aaron hit his 715th HR on my birthday, but I didn't know that Ryan White died of AIDS on my birthday as well.

Leo Tolstoy shares my birthday. It was also the day on which Martin Luther King, Jr. made his famous "I have a dream" speech. although that was 10 years before I was born.

DD almost shared my birthday - she was born 5 minutes into the next day!

Interesting. I share a birthday with Lawrence Welk, Rupert Murdoch and Bobby (Don't Worry Be Happy) Mc Ferrin!

I also share a birthday with Sharon Stone, who isn't listed.

Really close to my heart: The play Raisin In the Sun with Sidney Poitier was first performed in NYC.
