The main one I can remember is Hermann Goering. This does not explain my love of Germany, though it might have something to do with my desire for world domination.

Not too many for my birthday who I've actually heard of, except amply-eared comic actor Martin Clunes, amply-chested dead woman Anna Nicole Smith, and the quiet man of athletic, Kriss Akabusi. I also remember my 11th birthday for the resignation of Britain's most popular female prime minister, Sir Margaret Thatcher.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_May#Births

also, not on that list but Rubens Barrichello's birthday is 23rd May

A damn fine birthday that it is too!!

I didn't see Marvin Hagler (welterweight boxer of note) there but I know he is one. Also for those fans of hockey, Gary Roberts was born on this day as well. Interesting list for sure....Seeing Kelly Monaco on that list was one I hadn't known..(hubba hubba). Just wish the guys born in my birth year (1965) were ones I had heard of...but then again they don't know me either!
