Oh, and Jerry Seinfeld too.

I share mine birthday a lot of famous people, like Rob Paulsen and one of the three guys who directed Airplane and TopSecret, as well as Elias Koteas, the guy that played Casey Jones in the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. Also, the lovely Lisa Loeb and the not-as-lovely Johnny Knoxville.

I browsed through it..
The first name I recognized was Osama Bin Laden.
I laughed so loudly.
Uniocular
Helen Keller, Vera Wang, JJ Abrams, Toby Maguire, Drake Bell, and Sean Plott for people I recognize.
Not too impressive, but Helen Keller man.
Also there have not been any notable births on my birthday since 1999.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
Noam Chomsky.
Lots of people. Particularly notable ones are: Niels Bohr, Heinrich Himmler, Vladmir Putin, Yo Yo Ma, Simon Cowell, Dan Savage, and Thom Yorke.
Bonus points for people who died on my birth date: Edgar Allen Poe.

That's another thing I saw.
Google the day you were born, find the first wikipedia article with someone who died on that date.
Meet yourself from a past life! :D
All hail
Births (not in and particular order):
- Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus (Nero's step-brother. I just included him cause his name is awesome and he's the first on the list)
- Cotton Mather
- Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Eldest daughter Theodore Roosevelt)
- Abe Lincoln
- Charles Darwin (born the exact same day as Lincoln)
- Josh Brolin
- Tara Strong
- Scott Menville
- Louisa Adams (John Quincy Adams' wife)
- Francis II (the last Holy Roman Emperor)
- And a porn actress named Lolly Badcock (as far as I can tell that's not a stage name).
So... uh, some great people there.
As for interesting deaths (again, no particular order):
- Charles Schulz (the guy who wrote Peanuts)
- The guy who established J.C. Penny's
- Anna Anderson (the woman who claimed to be Anastasia Romanov)
- Immanuel Kant (a philosopher)
- Roger Patterson (the bassist for a death metal band, only interesting because it was the same day I was born)

MISSED ME?!?!
Ich bin nicht schuld! 's ist Gottes Plan!
I share my birthday with Robert Johnson.
I'm destined to play the blues.
Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...
How fleeting...
Bah, my birthday is lacking in interesting cosmic twins:
some people I have never heard of or don't care about (okay, a lot), plus:
- Carly Simon
- George Orwell
- Sonia Sotomayor
- George Michael
Famous deaths (spans multiple years, of course):
- Farrah Fawcett
- Michael Jackson
- Jacques Cousteau (who died the day I was ACTUALLY BORN, lol)
- General Custer (battle of little bighorn) and his two brothers
- Mary Tudor
Ich bin nicht schuld! 's ist Gottes Plan!
How fleeting...
I never said that. The ones I listed are the ones I DO care about or am interested in. I couldn't say that about George Orwell, anyway. I happened to enjoy Animal Farm when I read it.
People I've heard of born on my birthday:
- Josef Mengele
- Alan Tudyk
That's all I recognise, really.
I can't find any deaths of people I recognise on my birthday. But, the episode of Doctor Who that Adric died in aired on the day (exactly ten years before I was born, acually). So that could count? I guess?

Search the month and day your birthday is on, and see what famous/interesting people you share your birthday with.
I got Louis Braille, Jacob Grimm, Harmony Korine, Julian Sands, Sir Issac Newton, Lionel Newman, Rick Stien, Tina Knowles (Beyonce's Mum), Andy Borowitz (Creator of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air), Peter Steele from Type O Negative, Cait O'Riordian from The Pogues, Japanese pop artist Yoshitomo Nara, Michael Stipe from REM, Hitomi Obara (Japanese Wrestler).
I think that's a very interesting crowd to share a birthday with. What ones did you get?
