No.

after his 100th birthday? Anyway,the odds of ANYONE
dying on their birthday,any birthday,are pretty high.When
you consider there are 365 days in a year,the odds would
have to be at least 1 in 365.

Two months after.
Eubie Blake died one week after.
Lord Granville of Eye died two days after.
the Countess of Kintore died the day after turning 100 in 1974.

chances of them dying on that day are close to 100% if the family chooses that
day to pull the plug.

So, did you come up with that all by yourself, or did somebody help you?

His birthday was toward the end of Jan. and he died on March 9.

My post was at least as relevant as the person who gave all kinds of statistics
about the likelihood of a person dying on their 100th birthday.
Enjoy Life.

I know of two celebrities who died on their birthdays, albeit not the 100th.
They are: Ingrid Bergman (Aug 29 1915-Aug 29 1982) and John "Sgt. Schultz"
Banner (Jan 28 1910-Jan 28 1973). There may be others, but those are the only
ones I'm aware of.
In the "almost but not quite" category (involving a famous incident, though the
person was not a celebrity), I believe the notorious ValuJet crash occurred the
day after pilot Candalyn Kubeck's 35th birthday.

Animation artist Myron "Grim" Natwick (he created Betty Boop and also worked
for Disney) also passed away a few weeks after a gala 100th birthday
celebration at which most of the luminaries of the animation field were in
attendance. It was said that the excitement from the party probably helped
hasten his passing.

Hall of Famer Gabby Hartnett died on his 72nd birthday.
Okay, it's not as cool as the 100th birthday, but he was born on 12/20/1900
and passed on 12/20/72...that should count for something.

True enough,but "THE" (Original) "Hall of Fame" is the Hall of Fame for
Great Americans,which predates the Baseball Hall of Fame by decades.

I wonder if anyone born on January 1st 1901 will die January 1st 2001.
(Or,for that matter,if anyone born 9/9/1899 will die 01/01/01).

Hall of Fame for Great Americans? This in the Bronx, or are we talking
about different things?
I know the baseball HOF opened in 1939.

It's in the Bronx and used to be run by NYU. Now it's run by the City
University of New York. I don't know what condition it's in, or if it's
been "revised" by wacko academicians since CUNY got it.

Yes,the one in the Bronx.
Established in 1900.

They started picking members a little before that.

Yup, '36. Ty Cobb was the first of 5 inducted that year. Some guy Ruth
also got picked.

25x365x550 or over 5 million to 1.
But I stand to be corrected

Closest I can think of is Lord Granville of Eye.
He'd been in published lists for years as born in February 1899,
but a search of people qualified for 100th-birthday greetings from
the Queen based on birth records uncovered the fact that he was
actually born in February 1898,and thus he,not Lord Denning
(January 1899-March 1999) had been the oldest peer since 1993
though this only came to light in the run-up to his birthday.
On the day itself he showed up at the House of Lords as some
members paid tribute.
He died two days later.
