1961 was a vintage year for sure as far as I am concerned it was just about March when the crane dropped me off as well.

I was thinking these people(along with anyone born in 1961) are old enough to be my parents until i remembered that 40 years is now considered a generation and at age 40 you can look exactly the same age as somebody 30 years older than yourself.take stephen lewis(Smiler) and Joe gladwin(Wally Batty) in Last of the summer wine.Joe gladwin 1906-1988 that is,but i swear to god,i couldn't tell who was older!

I was born in 1961, too. I might not be famous but you can still find me in several books and publications in the Library Of Congress!

Interesting list you have here.

I was born in 1961 too and very happy to be. Although starting to feel of getting old. Somehow proud to know I was born in the same year as Obama; George Clooney' and Eddie Murphy.

So was I! But I am not famous and never will be (not my intention at least...)

But you can add Ingrid Betancourt, Manu Chao, Nastajja Kinski, Axel Bauer, Mylene Farmer, Cédric Klapisch, Arnaud Lagardère, Marc Lévy, Carl Lewis, Nagui, Jimmy Somerville, Bernard Werber, Karl Zéro, Forest Whitaker....

AND MANY MORE

I'm not famous but to celebrate my 50th, I'm running 50 kilometers (31 miles) to provide families in Peru with clean water. All are welcome to my 50th birthday party and if you are turning 50 this year, perhaps this project could be your your gift of choice. See www.WaterFiltersForMyBirthday.com.
