Some failed pop singer from American Idol turned irrelevant actress, Jennifer Hudson *shrugs*.
Big Chinese guy, Yao Ming.
Some ponsy actor, Benjamin McKenzie.
Another failed pop singer from American Idol, Ruben Studdard.
That guy who's CV consists of "acted in Fast & The Furious", Paul Walker.
Some actress who again I've never heard of, Rachel Ward.
Spot the recurring theme, actor I've never heard of, Peter Scolari.
Singer for a band Wikipedia describes as "one of the most popular bands of the 1970's" and who I describe as "who?", America. Gerry Beckley.
On another recurring theme, bands I've never listened to, Rush's drummer Neil Peart.
Finally one I've heard of, not that I'd admit to it publically, Barry White. Ooh whoops, a quick check on Wikipedia reveals that I have no idea who Barry White is, I thought he was Barry Manilow :(
Sticking with singers I've never heard of, Maria Muldaur.
Back to actresses I've never heard of, Linda Gray from "Dallas".
Hehehe, some actor guy who's called Dickie Moore. Haha, not only Dickie, but Dickie Moore? You can't get comedy like that these days.
Finally, a real icon. I share the same birthday as athletics legend Jesse Owens.
And back to form with an actor I've never heard of, Ben Blue.
And finally, another singer I've never heard of, Maurice Chevalier.

So thats great, with all the "celebrities" who share my birthday, I've heard of 4 of them, and only one of them is a real icon. Sucks for me.

Sadly, I remember 'America'. Trouble is, can't remember why.

Linda Gray kept the lipgloss industry going for years.
