Who shares your birthday?

I haven't heard of half these guys, and the ones I have heard of are way past their primes!

The only person I can find with my exact birthday is something called Chrystee Pharris, who was Simone on "Passions" for 785 episodes.

 

I also share a birthday (same year) with Louise Brown, the first test tube baby.

 

I wasn't going to be bothered researching who shared my birthday, but then I thought "what the hell."

Lo and behold:
HOMER SIMPSON! (at least according to this site: http://www.born-today.com/Today/05-10.htm)

June 19:

Lou Gehrig is my top fellow birthday sharer by a mile (also, the first baseball game played under the current rules was on June 19, 1846).

Other RIPers born on the day: Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor (1896), Moe Howard (1897), Ex-Calif. Sen. Alan Cranston (1914), Actress Nancy Marchand (1928), pro wrestler Wahoo McDaniel (1938).

Those among the living: Gena Rowlands, Salman Rushdie, Phylicia Rashad, Heart's Ann Wilson, Kathleen Turner, Paula Abdul, Mia Sara, Poppy Montgomery, Robin Tunney, Dirk Nowitzki.

Oh, yes, and Garfield the Cat, also. It always mentioned around June 19 every year in the strip.

 

Holy crap. A guy I watched run at the state meets in HS, a guy I'd give up my hatred of hockey for and a pioneer in rap. That's a pretty good list with connections to me.

 

Lance Armstrong.
