December 19

The only person worth mentioning (that I know at least) that was on the list was Leonid Brezhnev, 1st Secretary of U.S.S.R., 1964 - 1982.

Gotta admit, even though he's the only one I know that's pretty cool.:cool:

What about Richard Hammond, he's on the 19th :odd:
 
I remembered seeing Jay Leno, but forgot to bold. I didn't even notice Lamboghini and I don't really know Penelope Cruz, though I had heard of her.
 
So i just found out (ironic timing) i share a birthday with Prince William. Oh and Rebecca Black also has the same birthday as me :)
 
Just bolded some names I knew.
You don't know who Penelope Cruz, Harper Lee, Ferruccio Lamborghini, or Oskar Schindler is? I feel pity for you. I find Cruz much better looking than Alba, around her years in the film Blow.

I highly suggest you look up the story of Oskar Schindler. It's a very, very good one.

I know I was beaten to reply to this, but damn. I hope you look up Schindler. I would be proud to share a birthday with this hero, and I'm not Jewish nor religious in any way.
 
Will do 👍 And it was late at night, cut me some slack :lol: I didn't look very thoroughly.

EDIT: Wow. Just wow. What a man. I feel quite proud sharing a birthday with him. Sacrificing his wealth to save 1200 jews? Quite possibly the biggest act of kindness I have read about in a long, long time.

List updated.

The only person I recognize that was born on November 9th was Chris Jericho, a professional wrestler. November 9th also marked the first day of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.
