I've got John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, and Patrick Henry.

So is this "Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday" or "Most Famous Dead Person Who Died On Your Birthday"? I think it started out as one and evolved to the other. Walt Disney is the most famous dead person born on my birthday, followed closely by George A. Custer and Werner Heisenberg. The most famous person who died on my birthday is either Mozart or Richard Speck, depending on whether you more closely follow classical composers or mass murdering lunatics.

Desmond Tutu was born on my birthday. Edgar Allen Poe died on my birthday.

Judy Garland is probably the most famous dead person who shares a birthday with me. Ray Charles is probably the most famous person who died on my birthday.

Dead people born on my birthday: Franz Liszt, Daniel Boone, Jimmie Foxx Dead people died on my birthday: Soupy Sales, Paul Cezanne, Red Barber I find no celebrities who were either born or died on the day and year I was born. I am therefore the most famous person born on that date.

Swan Swan H May 06 2010 11:05 AM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

April 7 is my birthday. Born on my birthday - Billie Holiday (43 years before me) Died on my birthday - Henry Ford (11 years before I was born) According to Wikipedia, nobody famous was born or died on my actual day of birth, and I have a hell of a lot of work to do if I want to change that. Among the forty or so noteworthy events that occurred on my birthday which are listed in the Wikipedia entry, I would say that there is not a single one that the average person would be able to pin down to a month, never mind the exact date.

Misread this initially. To revise: Born on birthday (4/16), now dead: Charlie Chaplin (also, Doris Day, Henry Mancini, Dusty Springfield, Wilbur Wright) Born on actual birthday: Former Miss Universe/Derek Jeter penis-friend Lara Dutta Died on birthday: Babe Ruth (also, David Lean, Ralph Ellison, Rosalind Franklin, Francisco Goya, Alexis de Tocqueville, Madame Tussaud-- it's not the deepest group)

Benjamin Grimm May 06 2010 01:37 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

Died on my birthday, according to Wikipedia: Fanny Brice, Moe Berg, Mary Pickford, Barry Goldwater, Archibald Cox, and Harvey Korman. I also just discovered that I share a 'birthday' with two of the fifty states: Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Wisconsin is one of only seven states that I haven't visited.

themetfairy May 06 2010 01:37 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

Wisconsin is quite lovely - you should go there one day.

[quote="themetfairy":5mnzegqx]Wisconsin is quite lovely - you should go there one day.[/quote:5mnzegqx] Maybe some day I'll have a reason to! It doesn't seem like a "destination" spot (at least not for the trips I tend to take) and it's not between any two places I'd be likely to drive to. But who knows? The seven states I haven't visited are Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Mississippi.

Edgy DC May 06 2010 02:11 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

Whenever somebody mentions going to Wisconsin, I think about a great song by David Hamburger called "The Last Time." (Highly recommended.)

TransMonk May 06 2010 02:30 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

Not a "destination" spot? You're welcome any time you want to come visit, Grimm.

Benjamin Grimm May 06 2010 02:31 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

Will you do my laundry?

sharpie May 06 2010 03:15 PM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

I was in Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago. Listened to a bunch of Wisconsin songs while there but didn't know about the Hamburger song.

the chicago marathon was born on my birthday. i should run that one day... so was phil rizzuto, christopher reeve, will smith, and cheryl tiegs. one time mfy wil nieves shares my actual birthday. emily post, johann strauss, and harald III of norway are among the relatively few famous people to lose their lives.

HahnSolo May 07 2010 09:56 AM Re: Most Famous Dead Person Born On Your Birthday

John Coltrane, Ray Charles, and Mickey Rooney are in a heated race to become the most famous dead person who shares my birthday. Unless one of them is already dead at the present time.

Gene Roddenberry and Orville Wright were born on my birthday. Among living people the most famous person would have to be Bill Clinton, but I have a few classic rock connections (Ginger Baker from Cream, Freddie Deacon from Queen, and Ian Gillan from Deep Purple), another Star Trek connection with Jonathan Frakes, and a bunch of baseball players including Ron Darling and JJ Hardy. I share day and year with Jeff Tam, whom I had completely forgotten about until I checked on this. The most famous person to die on my birthday is a toss-up between Graucho Marx and Augustus Caesar.
