Why Weren't Any Famous People Born on My Birthday?
My Depraved Search for a Celebrity Birthday-Buddy
Maybe I'm making this too hard. See, I'm trying to find a famous person who was born on my exact birthday-month, day, and year: a celebrity birthday-buddy. Beatrix Potter, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Sally Struthers, Elizabeth Berkley, and Soulja Boy were born on my birthday, but in different years. Lots of other famous people-Orlando Bloom, Chris Martin, Kanye West, Liv Tyler, and Shakira, to name a few-were born in the right year, but none of them were born on the right day! Darn it!
There's gotta be someone! My search continues...Let's try the Internet Movie Database. Here I find several birthday-buddies: a makeup artist, a screenwriter, a couple of actors who played tiny parts in TV shows I've never heard of, and someone named "Kiri." Oh, she must be famous, to go by one name--like Madonna, I think, enthusiastically clicking Kiri's link. Look at all these movies she's done! 43! Wow! Oh...Oooooh, NO! I read Kiri's impressive list of movie credits, and cringe and giggle uncomfortably. (I'm not going to repeat any of the titles here, because AC is a family-friendly site, or so I'm told.)
Is Kiri more famous than Emanuel Ginobili and Aki Berg? Jeez, I hope not. It looks like she retired in 2004, so, assuming she used her "acting" money to pay for medical school, she's probably a doctor now. We can't all be basketball and hockey stars, you know.
Just for kicks, let's see if I can find a celebrity birthday-buddy for my husband. I've gone back to imdb.com, and...you've got to be kidding me! My husband is birthday-buddies with a "Busty Beauty" named Shauna Banks. Now, because I'm too curious for my own good, I need to check and see if Shauna's done any movies with Kiri. Wouldn't that be a crazy coincidence, like when I found out that my husband and I went to the same orthodontist before we knew each other, proving that we're meant to be together?! (I think I'm actually proving that a new porn actress is born every single day...and I need to stop.)
Would you believe that my husband also shares a birthday (different birth years) with Ron Jeremy? Yep. Okay, that does it. I'm done researching celebrity birthdays. I thought it would be fun, but now I feel gross.
Maybe I am the famous person born on my birthday. I'm simply not famous yet. Give me a few more years. I still haven't written my bestselling novel. Or starred in a movie.
Not that kind of movie!

I love popcorn, cashews, cheesecake, Jane Austen, my husband and children, and Conan O'Brien. Why should you be jealous of me? I am double-jointed in both thumbs, I live in Kansas, I'm tall, and I'm modest... View profile

Post a CommentRyan Cruthers shares my birthday- apparently he's a hockey player, weighs 175 lbs, and is 6 feet tall, and "shoots right". Huh. I wanted to share my birthday with a porn star...:( I also share my birthday with American Idol loser Gina Glocksen... *yawn*
Ok I don't know where you live, but I live in the US. I live in massachusetts. I liked the San Antonio Spurs. They are a NBA team from Texas. Emanuel Ginobbili (Manu Ginobili) is on it.
The United States was born on my birthday. Does that count? ;)
Dang it, Maria, I was trying to catch up on your articles & spent so much time looking for a birthday buddy, it's aft 3AM! What a fun article! Can't believe you found so few born 7/28/77! That seals it, girl. You gotta be THE Maria Roth who immortalizes that date! I got discouraged abt my 8/2 search until I noticed another Allene. But she spells it "Aline"... Aline Brosh McKenna, screenwriter. OK, she was born 20 yrs later, but I'll take it! She scripted 3 to Tango, Laws of Attraction, 27 Dresses, Devil Wears Prada & the Fame re-make (a disappointment). The only real birth buddy (incl yr.) is another 1-namer like Kira. It's Masseil, a Spanish singer I never heard of... I'm sure he/she is superb. But Gov. Schwarzenegger was born my yr just 3 days before. whoop. Harry Reems was born my yr in Aug in the Bronx, like me! Aug 2nd in different yrs got King Constantine 1, James Baldwin, & Peter O'Toole. But once I worked in an office w/ 4 women & 3 of us were born Aug 2nd... crazy!
Oh no lol. The only one I cna think of born on mine is Prince or whatever his name is now
I'm afraid to look up who else was born on my birth date now! :oP
I thought you were the famous person born on your birthday! I will have to check this out. ONly thing is I don't want to see anyone else who is older than dirt on my birthday like I am!
LOL!
You think you have it hard; I was born on June 21. This is the summer solstace-a big witch holiday. No wonder I'm so popular, you know what witch rhymes with. Thanks for tickling my funny bone. I enjoyed your article.
Here's the problem with birthday buddies: How would you feel if you saw your BB on TV all the time looking hotter and thinner and way younger than you? It's not as fun as you might think. Trust me. ;)
