Happy Birthday........

........ to me!!!!

And probably millions of other people around the world.

What surprises me is how many people I know share my birthday -

My husband, a cousin, a friend in the UK, twins at work, a husband of a workmate, and a wife of a workmate.

And there are about 897 famous people, including -

Daniel Radcliffe (he'll always be Harry Potter.)
Woody Harrelson
Jo Brand
David Essex
Raymond Chandler
Michael Wilding
Bec Hewitt (Lleyton Hewitt's wife)
Bert Newton
Coral Browne (remember her in A Midsummer Night's Dream, when I was 11)
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Monica Lewinsky (whatever happened to her?)

But the one I like the most who shares my special day, was a child star called Mandy Miller. She was a lovely looking child, but sadly only appeared in a few films.

Strangely enough, when I was about 13, and at a ballet school in London, we were sorting through some boxes in an attic, when I came across a drawing of hers. She was no longer at the school as she was a few years older than me, but I had no idea that she had ever been a student there.

And then when I got married I ended up with the same surname as her.

Funny old world.
