Famous People Born in 1899
Updated February 23, 2017 | Factmonster Staff 
The Question:
I was wondering if you could send me - or refer me to - a thorough list of prominent Americans born in 1899. Those I'm aware of are Duke Ellington, Fred Asataire, Ruth Page, Paul Robeson and Ernest Hemmingway. Are there more?
The Answer:
That's just the tip of the iceberg. There are several famous Americans and foreigners who would be celebrating their 100th birthday this year. If you type "born: 1899" into the search box on our site, you'll get other famous Americans such as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Hoagy Carmichael and Alfred Hitchcock (oops, sorry, he was born in London!).
