Ten Americans born on the Fourth of July:
- Louis B. Mayer, film producer
- Emerson Boozer, football player
- Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, politician
- Becki Newton, actress
- Geraldo Rivera, journalist
- Hiram Walker, distiller
- George Murphy, entertainer and politician
- Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders
- Rube Goldberg, cartoonist
- Stephen Foster, songwriter
I was thinking about calling this list "ten real live nephews or nieces of Uncle Sam," but on reviewing the lyrics to George M. Cohan's "Yankee Doodle Boy," I decided that being born on the Fourth of July wasn't necessarily synonymous with being a real live nephew (or niece) of Uncle Sam.
