Today is Madonna's birthday which we celebrated over at our official Instagram account (are you following yet? Plz do!) and on Twitter. She's 64 today having been born on this day in 1958 in Michigan. Angela Bassett shares her exact birthday. It got us to thinking about what an incredible vintage 1958 was for women who became inarguable legends in their fields. Then, when Sharon Stone, who is also a '58 baby, shared the pic above we knew we had to discuss this nonscientific observation with you.
1958 is the greatest vintage for producing iconic women. Proof is after the jump...
SO MANY IMPORTANT, GENIUS, OBSESSION-CAUSING WOMEN WERE BORN IN 1958. CONSIDER...

and it wasn't just women!
Lots of rather impressive men were born that year. Just a teeny tiny sampling to prove it: Viggo Mortensen, Tim Burton, Giancarlo Esposito, Charlie Kaufman... and late great music idols like Prince, Michael Jackson, and Andy Gibb.
Do you agree that 1958 is unbeatable or do you have another year that's even more impressive to suggest?
