It’s Friday the 13th, and while superstitions about today abound, for some people it turns out this day which only comes around a few times a year is actually pretty fantastic.

As a born-on-the-13th baby, it’s my duty to dispel any myths about this much maligned day. First off, there’s a good chance that if you sit down to dinner with 13 people today, one of you won’t be dead within a year. Unless it’s really, really old relative’s birthday, then maybe all bets are off.

Secondly, it’s actually not unlucky to be born on the 13th of a month.

Why? Well, because you were born. That’s a big deal. It was definitely a big deal for these 13 stars born on Friday the 13th. As it turns out, that was their (and our) lucky day.

Today is a Friday like any other, despite what the calendar may say, but should you go to any sleepaway camps, look out for guys in hockey masks. Just in case.
