I was born on the same date (but in a different year) as Jude "I'm hot and you know it" Law, Ted "cranial rug" Danson, Marianne "um, what about rugs?" Faithfull, Jon "my daughter's into collecting vials of blood, you know" Voight, Mary Tyler "we're gonna make it after all" Moore, former L.A. mayor Tom Bradley, Pablo "apparently I was a famous cellist" Casals, Andrew "I was a president, too" Johnson, and Charles "yeah, as in the tire company" Goodyear. And apparently that day is officially "the fifth day of Christmas in Western Christianity", so hey, merry continued Christmas.
