People Born on February 15th in History

My dad was born on the same day as Abraham Lincoln. My sister was born on the same day as Hitler. They always made fun of me when I was growing up because I didn't share my birthday with anyone famous like Lincoln or Hitler.

I finally Googled today's date to see who had been born on this day. Here's what I found:

  • Jaromir Jagr: hockey player for the New York Rangers
  • Chris Farley: fat man in a little coat
  • Matt Groening: cartoonist, creator of The Simpsons and Futurama
  • Janice Dickinson: 70's supermodel, aging publicity hound
  • Harvey Korman: Carol Burnette show extra, Hedley Lamar in Blazing Saddles
  • Cesar Romero: the Joker in the old Adam West Batman show
  • Susan B. Anthony: woman's suffragette, face on collectible silver dollars
  • Henry Engelhard Steinway: maker of Steinway pianos
  • Galileo Galilei: Italian astronomer
There. Now I'll never get made fun of again!

Hey! Harvey Korman was that robotic fellow in "The Star Wars Holiday Special"!

Perhaps some day you could be as socially relevant.
