If you are celebrating your birthday today you share it with two exceptionally productive Cancers,  the first being Josiah Wedgewood, born in 1730.  Although the name is associated with a high class and artistic style of china, Wedgewood was an English potter who actually used his Cancer determination to industrialize the mass manufacture of pottery. Wedgewood pottery is now part of the Waterford group and the blue "Jasperware" china with a white overlay decoration which the company is most famous for is more commonly known across the world as "Wedgewood china".

Another productive and focussed Cancer born today in 1937, is American actor, comedian, author and television producer Bill Cosby. Cosby's sitcom "The Cosby Show" became one of the defining television shows of the 1980's, he has also acted in a number of films, TV shows and spin offs and is estimated to have a personal net worth of $300 million.

Other creative Cancer's who have carved out a career within the entertainment industry are Michelle Rodriguez born in 1978, who has appeared in films "Resident Evil" and "S.W.A.T" as well as the television show "Lost" and ChristineMcVie who gained fame with the band Fleetwood Mac.
