Twelve Days of Christmas... Games, Part IV: Three Little Words

Today, we are going to keep it simple and image-free. We have chosen 12 notable people who were all born on December 25. We're going to give you the person's age on December 25 of this year (with the number in black if they are still alive) and then three words for each of them. You have to guess who the person is based on that information:

• Person 1 (135 years old): Believe It... Not
  
  
• Person 2 (54): Katy Perry's Boyfriend
  
  
• Person 3 (71): Sweet Dreams This
  
  
• Person 4 (204): American Red Cross
  
  
• Person 5 (107): Egyptian Laureate Assassinated
  
  
• Person 6 (75): Gay Marriage Wedge
  
  
• Person 7 (76): Oscar Miner's Daughter
  
  
• Person 8 (118): Minnie The Moocher
  
  
• Person 9 (101): Submitted Approval Zone
  
  
• Person 10 (79): Wasting Away Margaritaville
  
  
• Person 11 (126): Casablanca Maltese African
  
  
• Person 12 (138): Hotels Patriarch Paris

And we're going to have a tiebreaker today. If you asked Isaac Newton, he would tell you he was also born on December 25. However, that was on the Julian calendar. What is his birthday on the Gregorian calendar in use today?

If you would like to take a shot, the link is here. Note that, as on Jeopardy!, last names are all that is required. However, please no use of Google or other such resources. We can write games to be Google-proof, but then they have to get much more nitpicky. (Z)
