If today is your birthday, then happy birthday and congratulations! You join an illustrious league of bold-faced names who share your Aries fate, including Shannen Doherty, Claire Danes, David Letterman, and me.
Chances are, you won’t be throwing a shindig with your celebrity birthday cohorts — though partying with Doherty could be all sorts of wonderful — but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep track of the famous members of your birthday club. I certainly can’t be the only one who used to peruse famous birthday lists (OK, fine Tiger Beat) to see who they align with. Well, in my case, I get a delectable double ’90s whammy with Doherty and Danes — Brenda Walsh and Angela Chase, hello!
I’m less than enthused about sharing it with Partridge Family crooner David Cassidy; sorry, I’m too young to have been wowed by that head of hair.
Which celebrities do you like sharing your birthday with? Who would you like to kick out of your club?

Beethoven and Jane Austen. Dead famous people – is that close enough? December 16th (although some reports vary by a day).
It’s me and Nicole Kidman. I’m not a big fan of her frozen face.
Hmmm, after further research I’ve come to find out that I also share a birthday with Bob Vila, Lionel Richie and Brian Wilson to name a few… Could be a fun party!
Gary Coleman and Jack Lemmon – I guess the awesomeness of JL beats out GC
Proud to share my birthday (March 23rd) with Akira Kurosawa. Also Keri Russell, which is neither here nor there.
