Topic: Was anyone famous born on YOUR birthday?

And by that I'm not just talking about day/month, but the exact date in the same year.
It's something I'd been thinking about a bit with all these crazy Happy Birthday threads that are around at the moment, plus with the current date, & the fact that some famous birthdays are marked on my free calendar. You see, I was born on the 12th of February 1980, which was also the exact day that Christina Ricci was born.
So - was anyone famous born on the same day as you?NP TWINE

For film people, you can look it up on IMDB. And I know about Christina Ricci because
a) it's marked on my free (with film magazine) calender
b) it says so at IMDB

Serial buttock fondling flesh eating pugilistic rapist MIKE TYSON was born on the same day as me (30th June)
I always thought Bernard Herrmann shared my birth date? The back of the expanded Arista release of TAXI DRIVER claims he was born June 30 1911 but other sources claim he was born June 29th?!
Anyone confirm facts here?

By posting the people who share my birthday would be a serious breach of security, as the date of my birth is a secret more classified than the old Manhattan Project.So I will decline to participate.
