I have been tagged by the lovely Carolin from Mummy Alarm in a ‘who do you share your birthday with’ style meme originally started by Kate from the Five F’s to commemorate her special birthday!!She want to get as many tagged bloggers to link up so that she ends up with a person who was born on all 366 days of this year! If you click on the badge above it will take you to Kate’s page where she will explain all.
Before I did this meme the only famous person I knew I shared my birthday with was Cyndi Lauper!!
Anyway, here are the questions and my answers
*When is your birthday?
June 22nd
*Pick three people who share my birthday and share what you know about them:
Erin Brokovich – she who was played by Julia Roberts in the film with the same name. Mum turned legal researcher who helped make history by assisting with the largest direct action lawsuit in US history.
 |
| Dan Brown (novelist) – wrote The Da’vinci code’ among other books |
Meryl Streep – Oscar winning actress who has starred in films such as Mamma Mia
*Is anyone listed as being born on the same day and the same year as you (i.e. 1974)? If so, what do you know about them?
Donald Faison – actor who played Turk in ScrubsAlicia Goranson – actress who played Becky in Roseanne
*List three people who died on your birthday and tell us what you know about them:
Judy Garland – actress and mother to Liza Minelli died in 1969
Fred Astaire – dancer and actor died in 1987
Saint John Fisher – a roman catholic cardinal who was executed by henry V11 in 1535
*List three notable events that took place on your birthday:
1772 – slavery is outlawed in England
1847 – the doughnut is invented (apparently!)
1911 – King George V is crowned
*Tell us about a holiday that falls on your birthday:
Apparently its National Chocolate Eclair Day – excellent news indeed I say!!
So as is traditional with these meme’s I need to tag some lovely people 🙂 and I choose:
TheBoyandMe
Jessies Crazy Kitchen
From Fun To Mum
Coombe Hill Farm
Susan K Mann
* Don’t forget to link your entry at Kate’s blog – the Five F’s *

This is a cool one, I have so many memes that I have been tagged to, but hopefully I’ll get around to do most of them next week, when I am in Italy and I have free mummy babysitting…or I could just go shopping and leave the blog alone altogether…we’ll see.
How cool that you share your birthday with Meryl Streep, she is one of my favourite actresses of all time!
