I'm afraid I feel very ignorant as I read the list of names who share my birthday as I don't know very many of them.

I do know Phil Donahue, Jane Fonda, Joseph Stalin (what a thrill to share a birthday with someone that notorious :huh ) and Thomas Beckett.

Florence Griffith Joyner, the Olympic medalist had my exact birthday. How sad that she died of a heart attack at 38.
