Description

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN - American founding father, scientist, inventor, activist, statesman, diplomat and author, they don't come much greater than Benjamin Franklin. BETTE DAVIS - The epitaph on her tombstone reads, "She did it the hard way," a line suggested to her by Joseph L. Mankiewicz shortly after they made the film, "All About Eve." Those six words simply and elegantly sum up why she is considered one of the greatest of all Hollywood stars. JOE LOUIS - One of the greatest heavyweight champions the world has ever seen. MADONNA - Madonna Louise Veronica Ciconne Ritchie, or Madonna, as she is known across the entire planet, has an incredible list of accomplishments to her name. ORSON WELLES - Precocious, opinionated, and the bane of Hollywood moguls, Orson Welles once said, he thought an artist should always be out of step with his time.
