S.E. Hinton gave her characters birthdays and astrological signs. You can see a scan of the list she made for Francis Ford Coppola when they were making "The Outsiders" TV series (the character of Scout is original to the series). It's located at - http://z7.invisionfree.com/TheOutsidersSEHinton/index.php?showtopic=1001 (the former seems to no longer have the image attached - the second link has a link to the image in the second post.)

Here's the list:

Darry - January 5 - Capricorn
Soda - October 8 - Libra
Pony - July 22 - Cancer (Leo Cusp)
Two-Bit - June 20 - Gemini
Steve - April 15 - Aries
Tim - November 5 - Scorpio
Cherry - March 8 - Pisces
Marcia - May 24 - Gemini
Randy - Feb 10 - Aquarius

She later answered a chat question from fans on when Johnny and Dally's birthdays were, if you read through this thread - http://s7.invisionfree.com/TheOutsidersSEHinton/index.php?showtopic=779&st=0 or this one http://z7.invisionfree.com/TheOutsidersSEHinton/index.php?showtopic=1001

Johnny - March 1 - Pisces
Dally - November 9 - Scorpio

Very cool info, and if you don't know anything about astrology, all the guys fit their signs very well.
