Playing around on IMDB, I discoverd that I share my birthday with the following (the highlights of a long list):
Carla Gugino
Michael Jackson
Ingrid Bergman (who died on her 67th birthday)
Rebecca De Mornay
Richard Attenborough
Joel Schumacher
Elliott Gould
Who do you claim as birthday buddies?
Use this link:
http://www.imdb.com/date/08-29/
but change the 08 to the month of your birth and the 29 to the day.

Some very big names there Chris!
Channing Tatum is exactly halfway between me and a friend of mine (four years from each of us). He and others are included in one of my accolades, thanks to that useful I.M.D.B. feature. Chernobyl exploded on my tenth birthday, the day on which another friend of mine was born. Sid James died on the day I was born. |

| Jimi Hendrix. [I don't need IMDb for that.] And, more recently, the date Tiger Woods crashed his car and did what no other golfer was able to do: derail his career. |

I share a birthday with Bart Simpson herself Nancy Cartwright, producer and ex-Cameron Gale Anne Hurd, top mod Phil Daniels, French director Abel Gance, and pop tart Katy Perry. I can also claim the slightly more famous Pablo Picasso, and the composers Johann Strauss and Georges Bizet.
Deaths - the poet Chaucer, George II of England, Vincent Price, Richard Harris and DJ John Peel.
Also: Henry V won the battle of Agincourt in 1514, The Charge of the Light Brigade happened at the Battle of Balaklava in 1854, The Mousetrap opened in London's West End in 1952 (and still running of course), and it's a particular point of pride that the Queen opened the National Theatre on the South Bank on my birthday in 1976. I have yet to appear in the Mousetrap or at the NT. Or win or lose a decisive military battle. |

I beg to differ - you got Charles Grodin, Anthony Quinn, Andie McDowell, Toby Stephens, Glen Hansard and James McAvoy!
You should also know that on your auspicious birthday Romulus and Remus founded Rome, Henry VIII became King and The 'Red Baron' von Richthofen was shot down.  |

Well none of those are on my favourite actors/actresses list!  quote:

Do you have a link for the source of this info? I didn't know any of that! |

The first site got me:
Chris O'Donnell (1970, Winnetka, Illinois, USA)
Jason Schwartzman (1980, Los Angeles, California, USA)
Jennette McCurdy (1992, Los Angeles, California, USA)
Paul Thomas Anderson (1970, Studio City, California, USA)
Aubrey Plaza (1984, Wilmington, Delaware, USA)
Sean Hayes (1970, Glen Ellyn, Illinois, USA)
Nick Offerman (1970, Joliet, Illinois, USA)
Robert Davi (1951, Astoria, Queens, New York City, New York, USA)
Eleanor Parker (1922, Cedarville, Ohio, USA)
Peter Lorre (1904, R�zsahegy, Austria-Hungary [now Ruzomberok, Slovakia])
But one of the other ones also showed:
Derek Jeter (NY Yankees short stop)
Babe Didrikson Zaharias (see the movie Pat & Mike, which is patterned on her life)
Abner Doubleday (the guy they say invented baseball)
Greg LeMond (first American to win the Tour de France)
Pearl S. Buck
Wikipedia has more, but I'm a bit surprised at how many athletes were on my list. |

I've got...
Bernard Bresslaw
George Harrison
Not one, but TWO Lee Evans (I only know about the comedian one)
Tea Leoni
Sean Astin
and (God help me) Carrot Top
I've always been weirdly disappointed I'm out by 2 days on Michael Dell and 1 for Steve Jobs. Mind, apparently I took my sweet time coming out so I'm going for an unofficial Steve Jobs birthday buddy. |

I like these two.
Babybear matches with Charlie Sheen, Alan Ladd, and the start of World War 2.
Mrs C matches with Pearce Brosnan and David Boreanaz (she's not too unhappy about that), plus Henry Fonda, Tori Spelling and Megan Fox. |
