Look Who's Having A Birthday

Glance at a list of famous people who were born in 1946 and one thing is apparent: it is hard to believe some of them are turning 60, while others have always seemed that old. Can Patti Smith, the high priestess of New York punk, really be blowing out the candles on her 60th birthday cake this year? She can (on December 30, to be precise) and so is the baby-faced former US president Bill Clinton and boomer movie directors Steven Spielberg and David Lynch.
