KATHERINE HEPBURN - When Katherine Hepburn died in 2003, the film world was plunged into mourning and Broadway dimmed its lights in a mark of respect for Hollywood's greatest actress, who career spanned six decades. MAHATMA GANDHI - Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi may be an unlikely contender for the title of greatest political leader of the 20th century, but as the "Father of Indian Democracy," his radical program of passive resistance still inspires nationalist movements today. JOHNNY CASH - When he was born, he was known simply as "Jr.", because his parents couldn't agree on a name for him. He grew up to become Johnny Cash or the "Man in Black," one of American music's most influential and legendary performers. BEATRIX POTTER - Beatrix Potter was born in 1866 and educated at home by a succession of governesses; her parents were over protective and rarely allowed her to mix with children other than her younger brother, Bertram. BENAZIR BHUTTO - When Benazir Bhutto became the first Muslim woman to govern a country in modern times on November 16, 1988, the glamorous, young politician was seen as a fresh alternative to the entrenched corruption and abuse of power that characterized Pakistan's military dictatorship. Sadly, the fairy-tale beginning had a tragic ending.
