Trotsky died on my birthday. I think Connie Chung has the same birthday.
From the link Shannon gave us I learned that I share a birthday with:
Bernardo O'Higgins, Chilean revolutionary (1778)
Benjamin Harrison, U.S. president (1833)
H. P. Lovecraft, horror writer (1890)
George Mitchell, politician (1933)
Rajiv Gandhi, Indian prime minister (1944)
Robert Plant, rock singer (1948)
