Geminis are good entertainers and if you are celebrating your birthday today, you share the day with some very entertaining Geminis. Born today in 1926 is probably one of the most famous actresses and recognised people in the world, Marilyn Monroe.  Monroe had the typical Gemini trait of harboring two types of personalities:  on the one hand she was gregarious and lively, while inside she was shy and harbored many demons.

Other famous entertainers celebrating their birthdays today include British actors Jonathan Pryce, Robert Powell and Edward Woodward, as well as American actor Morgan Freeman. Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood also celebrates his birthday today.

Geminis like to be constantly on the go which Martin Brundle, born today in 1959, took literally in his chosen career as a racing driver. He has raced in both Formula 3 and Formula 1 and was the WorldSportscar Champion in 1988.  He also won the Le Mans 24 hour race with Jaguar in 1990.  

Frank Whittle, born today in 1907, displayed the Gemini desire to do well and push the boundaries of their chosen field.  He was a British Air Force Officer and the inventor of the jet engine, he has been acknowledged as the father of jet propulsion.
