Do you ever check who as the same birth date as you ?

To my horror I found that Diane Abbott MP shares the same birth except I am 7 years older. ? I am much happier with Gwyneth Paltrow.

As I was growing up, I always felt a little 'touched by glamour' to know that I shared my birthday with Elizabeth Taylor.

Though sometimes tempted to say she shared her birthday with me! grin

J52, my nephew Ben, Marilyn Manson shock, Perry Fenwick (Billy Mitchell) and (thrillingly) Sam Philips who founded Sun Records.

On the first Google site I looked at the only name I recognised was Grace Kelly!

Another search turned up - Rodin, Anne Hathaway, Karl Marx and, oh dear, Charles Manson.

Lorenzo de Medici, Maurice Chevalier, Jesse Owens and Barry White. All typical Virgos of course.

Lisalou Hedy Lemarr is an interesting woman. She worked in communications during the war while at her peak as an exotic actress and designed a system which is the basic of Wi-Fi and much other technology. Because it was wartime and very secret it is not well known and she hasn't had the credit that she should. There are some good YouTube documentaries about her.
For me its Meryl Streep and a list of 'famous' people that I have never heard of.

Duke of Edinburgh, bless him.

I'm not sure who I share mine with, but I was born 2 days after prince Andrew. As a child my Mum used to say I'd marry him, and although I knew it wasn't true, as a child I always felt I had some connection to him. ? Glad to say I no longer feel that way.

Just did a search.. the only one I really know is Mick Fleetwood. I love Fleetwood Mac.
Lionel Messi too. I know he's a footballer but no idea who he plays for??

Am thrilled to share my birthday with the late great Alan Rickman. Less happy with Robert Mugabe.

Colin Firth!

Apparently I share my birthday with Jesus but only if you're a Jehovah's Witness who believe he was born on the 1st October!

Kim19 Sat 30-Sep-17 09:36:43

I don't wish to know who dares to share my birthday. I consider it mine, all mine and celebrate annually accordingly.

cassandra264 Sat 30-Sep-17 09:38:08

Olympic gold medallist (hurdles) 1948 Fanny Blankers-Koen (now there's a name to conjure with!). Sadly, the most I ever achieved was a school certificate for being the junior backstroke champion fifty years ago.....

Somewhat underwhelmed to know I share a birthday with actress Koo Stark......

Griselda Sat 30-Sep-17 09:41:19

Oh dear ! Kim Kardashian & Benjamin Netanyahu.
