And I've never heard of that person's 5 letter long last name.<br /><br />Ok, if you go to the IMDb, set its search box to "names", and enter "Curtis, Jamie Lee" and then click the magnifying glass button, it says 'Displaying 2 results for "Curtis, Jamie Lee"' and below that you see "Jamie Lee Curtis" and below that you see "Jamie Lee Curtis Taete".<br /><br />Then, if you click on Jamie Lee Curtis, then <b><i>her</i></b> IMDb page comes up, and you see that she was born on November 22, 1958.<br /><br />Lee, November 22, and <b><i>Dallas</i></b> from "Bryce Dallas Howard" (mentioned in ron's post) -- strange connection, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730391.post-88103084553297109402015-02-26T23:45:50.718-08:002015-02-26T23:45:50.718-08:00Dec. 18, 1984?
