I knew Ritchie Blackmore was born on the same date.

And found a few more:
1578 - Filips III, King of Spain and Portugal
1629 - Christiaan Huygens, physicist, mathematician, astronomer and inventor
1912 - Robert Doisneau, photographer
1913 - Jean Fournet, conductor
1957 - Mikhail Pletnev, concert pianist, conductor, and composer.

The Titanic celebrated it's 52nd year hitting an iceberg on the night I was born.
One of the waiters on the Carpathia had the same surname as I have.

The two youngest daughters of one of my forefathers died on the same date as my birthday in 1814, so did my dad this year.
