Who do you share your birthday with? I could invite Johnny Marr, Larry Mullen, King Ad Rock, Vanilla Ice and Annabella Lwin who is the same age as me. I could also invite Vermeer, Keats, Chang Kai Shek and John Candy if they weren't dead

― Billy Dods, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, go on. Invite the dead. They won't clutter the bathrooms or empty your frig...

― dinosaur, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Holly Hunter, Spike Lee, William Hurt, Henrik Ibsen, Pat Riley (that would be cooler if he was still the Knicks' head coach), Mr. Rogers (!), Ozzie Nelson (a fellow Rutgers alum to boot), Carl Reiner, and B.F. Skinner (Mr. Behaviorism).

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK. A very small Tyrannosaurus rex. On a chain. With a bit of fresh meat to keep it from gnawing on the guests...

― dinosaur, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The lifeless corpse of Sylvia Plath.

― Melissa W, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe cremated in a belljar...

― dinosaur, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

People with whom I share a birthday but whom I would really prefer not to invite to my birthday party: my ex, my GCSE maths teacher, and Hitler. Woo.

Famous non-Nazis to share my birthday: er, there aren't any, at least that I know of. It's sort of near Shakespeare's and Nicholas Lyndhurst's though. Maybe they'd share with me. Maybe...

― Rebecca, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yoko Ono.

― Momus, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(December 6th) Don King and David Brubeck. At least my party would be well promoted and attended, I guess.

― Brian MacDonald, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How can on e find out? I was born near Halloween so , The Great Pumpkin. Speaking fo Yoko , I just downloaded " What a Bastard the World IS". Its very funny. She throws the ash tray at John "full of butts!"

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

elvis presley, david bowie and the bloke with the tache out of frankie goes to Hollywood. A triumvirate of mixed talent I think you'll agree.

― chris, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A boy in my office and Dennis Hopper (I think it's him, it might be someone else famous called Dennis).

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gandhi, Lorraine Bracco (rowr analyst in the Sopranos) and Mr In- Through-The-Outdoor himself, STING!

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I share mine with Jerry Lee Lewis and Brett Anderson.I like Brett much better.Richard - aha,so your birthday was yesterday?

― Damian, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ooer,sorry,my bad.I haven't been using ILE much or I would have noticed your birthday greetings.

― Damian, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

According to www.famousbirthdays.com, Audrey Hepburn and Pia Zadora. Colour me semi-impressed. May the fourth be with you.

― Trevor, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

wow after looking at that site I also share my birthday (January the 8th) with Stephen Hawking, Shirley Bassey, Ron Moody, Butterfly McQueen (apart from a Boo Radleys song, who he?) and Soupy Sales (????)

Also a very happy birthday for tomorrow to the lovely rowrsome Rachael Leigh Cook

― chris, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jesus - George W. Bush, The Dalai Lama, Nancy Reagan and Sylvester Stallone. Sounds like the birthday party from hell. Plus, according to that site Trevor mentioned, lots of people I've never heard of - Matthew O'Leary? Tia and Tamara Mowry? William Schallert? Laverne Andrews?

― Andrew L, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Joseph Heller, Calamity Jane, Joanna Lumley, John Woo, Antony Worrall-Thompson, Una Stubbs, Glenn Ford, Ray Parker Jr., Rita Coolidge, Tim McGraw, Judy Collins, , Terry Southern, Joseph Addison,

― Nick, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Andrew, I think you're wrong about the Jesus one.

― Nick, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Having consulted the site I was right about Dennis Hopper. I also have Andrea Corr, Enya, Trent Reznor, Sugar Ray Leonard and Ayatollah Khomenei. I will raise a glass to all the May 17 gang next year.

― Emma, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Should be quite a bash, Steve Severin would be in charge of music. Shostakovich and Glen Gould can't make it unfortunately but would be honoured, as would William Falkner. Cheryl Tiegs and Catherine Zeta Jones would add some 'glamour', unfortunately the loathsome Michael Douglas would also be in attendence. Other thesps: Will Smith, (barred from singing) Heather Locklear, Christopher Reeve and Mark Hamill. Barbara Waters would only be allowed in without a television crew + Dutch Royal Prince Johan Friso would be in charge of the dishes.

― stevo, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm cross with Nick for A) catching me out haha, and B) having a much cooler list than mine. You wouldn't want to swap Terry Southern for Beatrix Potter would you?

― Andrew L, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Andrew don't worry as Nick's list can never be cool while it contains the words.......

Anthony Worrall-Thompson

I had the misfortune of seeing him on tv last night and I nearly threw it out of the window.

― chris, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Soundtrack by Phil Oakey and Neil Tennant; some fun in the swimming pool with Mark Spitz;Mia Farrow on the coach with Lorraine Bracco playing fine as the efficient psychotherapist;getting serious with Mahatma Gandhi and seriously hilarious with Groucho Marx; and by the time I got to bed, some literary gloom and guilt with the sublime Graham (Greene)

― Laetitia, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Teddy Sheringham.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Monica Lewinsky and Slash. Do I win?

― Graham, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Madchen, you also have Marvin Gaye, Camille Paglia, Sue Townsend, Alec Guinness, Penelope Keith, Jack Brabham, Hans Christian Andersen, Max Ernst, Leon Russell, Dana Carvey and Paul Gambaccini!

― Nick, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And jamesmichaelward, I notice.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the only ones i recognise out of the list are Penelope Cruz, Jay Leno and (chiz) Saddam Hussein. and i wouldn't want *any* of them at my birthday party.

had i been born a mere 5 minutes earlier though, i would have shared my birthday with my mum!

― katie, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Iggy Pop, Robert Smith...and Queen Elizabeth II. Sounds like the punchline to an iffy joke, no?

― j.lu, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mine (and Tracer Hand's) = Al Jolson and Prince. Much was the hilarity in my old office when v.bossy RR proved to share a birthday with Genhis Khan and Ceaucescu.

― mark s, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

George Hamilton. No wonder birthdays are usually such a dud.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I, II, III or IV?

― mark s, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Robbie Williams, Peter Gabriel, Stockard Channing (Rizzo!), Jerry Springer, Peter Tork, George Segal, Kim Novak, Chuck Yeager, Eileen Farrell, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Grant Wood, Bess Truman (Prez's wife), L.L. Bean(??).

I have distant memories that Sonia might share it too, but I'm not sure... oh, and Pete Butterflies Of Love's niece.

― emil.y, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We need my friend Karen in on this, she seems to have lots of info on this subject. Apparently Sam Houston and Lou Reed are the two famous people offhand.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Robert Smith and Queen Elizabeth have the same birthday? ROCK!!!!

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When is that? I must remember to hate everyone else born on that day too.

― Nick, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rebecca, you have the same b-day as my guy.

― Samantha, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alretha Franklyn, r-e-s-p-e-c-t the 25th of March. But the really scary one is Elton John. I had a horrible dream last week where I was a famous critic and Elton was asking me what I thought of his new single and I had to make up all sorts of bullshit and start saying how great it was. And then I woke up screaming. And now I find out we share birthdays, I can see him turning up at my 21st or something. Kevin Keegan, Ronald Koeman, and Marc Overmars could be the tools at the back. And if it went on a day or two more Quentin Tarentino could come along I guess, and I'd score Sarah Jessica Parker, if there was noone nicer there out of the celebs I've never heard of.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 3 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, Gary Shandling. That's pretty cool. Also Jon Knight (from NKOTB I presume), Busby Berkley, Louisa May Alcott, CS Lewis, Diane Ladd, John Mayall and Howie Mandel, amongst others.

Of course the most exciting one which it doesn't mention is.....Ryan Giggs.

Whoopee.

my birthday on Nov 4 reveals a bizarre bunch... Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Matthew McConaughey, Chris Difford (Squeeze), Robert Mapplethorpe, Ralph Macchio (aka the Karate Kid), Laura W. Bush, Loretta Swit (MASH) and Walter Cronkite PS In response to Chris's query (scroll up) I think Butterfly McQueen is the name of the actress who plays the servant in Gone With the Wind.

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a feeling you may have searched 21st of June. Or the person who searched for me searched for May and is actually a spacker.

― Sarah, Thursday, 4 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hold on. I *know* Prince William was at least June. But Leo seems to be May. I'm confused. The worlds ending. On that note, I'm going home.

You've heard of female liberation? Well, tha-a-aaaaaaa-a-aat's for me!"
