Yes. It's interesting to discover who was born in your birth year or even your birth month. Who can you claim?
William Shatner and I share the 22nd of March as our birthday - but not in the same year! More interesting and less well known is the fact that I was born 100 years to the day after one of my great-grandfathers on my Dad's side. Opa Rösler (born 22.03.1868) was long gone when on 22.03.1968 I decided it was time to join my big sister.
ReplyDeleteIt is also my younger brother's birthday...born in 1956.
DeleteSo far I have found...
ReplyDeleteTom Hanks; Carrie Fisher; Mel Gibson; Theresa May ... Yikes! I'd better stop there.
Do you have any of the character traits of Theresa May? Stubbornness? Tunnel vision? No leadership skills? A penchant for expensive shoes?
DeleteOnly the last one
DeleteAngelina Jolie, Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, David Beckham, Tiger Woods, Charlize Theron, Bradley Cooper, Christina Hendrix, Michael Bublé, 50 Cent....all in 1975.
ReplyDeleteSounds like 1975 was a vintage year...but not as good as 1953.
Delete1950 was a busy year for celebs too. Sharing my year of birth are..... Princess Anne, Stevie Wonder, Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA), Richard Branson, Robbie Coltrane, Karen Carpenter, Julie Walters, David Cassidy, Billy Ocean and many many more.....
ReplyDeleteLike 1975, 1950 was obviously a vintage year - after all you were born in it Lady ADDY...but it wasn't as good as 1953.
DeleteI don't know whether to smile or frown:
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders, Paul Anka, Bob Dylan, Martha Stewart, Neil Diamond, Kim Jong-Il, Charo, Dick Cheney, Otis Redding, Jesse Jackson, Pete Rose, Robert Kraft, Chubby Checker, Faye Dunaway, Richard Dawkins, Linda McCartney, Mama Cass Elliot, Ryan O’Neal, Joan Baez, Art Garfunkel
The year was 1941. Some of them are dead.
Bob Dylan...Joan Baez...Art Garfunkel...Jesse Jackson...Wow! What a year to be born in. Shame about Dick Cheney though.
DeleteI share my birthdate with the last remaining member of the Mamas and the Papas: Michell Phillips. Diana Ross, Brenda Lee and Gladys Knight were 1944 babies too.
ReplyDeleteYou can form a supergroup together Graham. You'd be on triangle and maracas. You'd be called 4Tea4.
DeleteYou made a major error for October. Red was born in October and since I was born before You I get the honor of being the best person born in October and I'm not sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were born in 1963 Red - not 1953.
DeleteI was getting old by 1963!
DeleteYou have quite a list there. I was born in 1952 and among others there was also Douglas Adams, Liam Neeson, Patrick Swayze and Isabella Rossellini.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good year Bonnie...but not as good as 1953.
DeleteYou tell him, Red! lol
ReplyDeleteI can't find anyone of any note who was born in May 1957. Figures :)
You were born in the same month as Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols! Jenny Vicious has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
DeleteAre you trying to tell me something?! lol I didn't realize I came across in quite that way :)
DeleteAnd, I read that the first time as Jenny Viscous, which is even worse.
Pardon me, I shouldn't have said "of any note" but "whose name I recognized" ~~

ReplyDeleteErno Rubik - needing little explanation was born in 1944.
https://www.thefamouspeople.com/november-11th.php Also the late Colonel David Hackworth, the highly-decorated US soldier, (and author) if not the most highly-decorated soldier in the US Army, whom I was fortunate enough to be friends with back in the late 70s-early 80s when he lived here in Australia was born on the same date as me....11th November. David was a fine man - highly intelligent and lots of fun to know.
Francis Ford Coppola visited David in Sydney to converse with him at length, before he, Coppola began filming the much-acclaimed "Apocalypse Now"...it has been said the characters played by both Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando in that movie were based around David Hackworth.
He was buried at Arlington National Military Cemetery, Arlington County Virginia in the US.
How splendid that you knew David Hackworth. Diana Ross, Joe Cocker, Roger Daltrey and Jimmy Page were also born in your birth year.
DeleteOh...David was to great fellow, Yorkie. A very impressive human being, indeed - one to be admired.
DeleteAs shown on the date etc., shown below is a post I wrote about him in my blog....

IN MEMORY OF....DAVID HACKWORTH....
