First off, I gotta thank The Classic Movie Muse https://theclassicmoviemuse.com/ for the inspiration for this post. I had mentioned in her announcement for her annual Kim Novak Blog-a-Thon that Miss Novak and my Dad shared February 13th as a birthday and asked me of I shared my D Day with any celebrities. At first I was planning on merely answering her question in a response comment, but then realized a brief post on actors and actressesI share my B Day with would be even better. And with March being my Birthday month, now’s the perfect time.

To start off, my Birthday is March 21st, though I was slated to arrive in April in the late part of 1980’s. Surprisingly, quite a few famous folks share March 21st as their B Day too.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

Before I get to the juicy meat of this post, I wanted to mention four non actors/actresses who I share my B Day with. The earliest person I could find who shares March 21st with me is the composer Johann Sebastian Bach, whose music is still enjoyed by lovers of the classics. A nice surprise for me was learning Mr. Broadway himself “Flo” Ziegfeld is a March 21st baby, a name still heralded among musical lovers. Filmmaker Russ Meyer, dubbed the ‘Fellini of Nudes’ was another surprise March 21st birthday boy. And finally, the original independent film producer Mark Hellinger, responsible for Burt Lancaster’s quick rise to fame, rounds out the honorable mentions.

Now for the good stuff

TIMOTHY DALTON

The most underrated James Bond of them all, Mr. Dalton mixes being suave, cool, sometimes devious/sinister and gentlemanly into a fine homogenous concoction.

FRANCOISE DORLEAC

Catherine Deneuve’s equally talented older sister, who was taken from this world too early in a car crash. Best remembered for acting alongside her sister in Jacques Demy’s ode to Hollywood Musicals Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (The Young Girls of Rochefort).

GARY OLDMAN

One of today’s best actors, stellar at a wide variety of parts like Sid Vicious, Sirius Black, and Winston Churchill.

MATTHEW BRODERICK

Bueller, Ferris Bueller. ‘Nuff said.

VIRGINIA WEILDER

Katherine Hepburn’s kid sister from The Philadelphia Story, she was great in every scene she was in.

JAMES COCO

A somewhat forgotten character who was great in both comedy and drama. Best immortalized immortalized in a The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode when a demon said he went made after 15 minutes in the Glutton section of Hell.

SABRINA LE BEAUF

Best remembered as Cliff Huxtable’s oldest daughter Sondra on disgraced icon Bill Cosby’s show.

There’s quite a few other celebrities I share my B Day with, but I wanted to highlight my favorites. Hope you enjoyed the post, and thanks again to The Classic Movie Muse for the inspiration.
