Roger Sweet
He didn't live to see the latest big-screen adaptation of the 1980s toy line that is widely credited to him, but man, he had the power to make a generation of children feel like masters of making their parents buy a universe of action figures. Go »
Johnny Mathis
Chances are, when it comes to guessing this doubly wonderful velvet-voiced singer, it IS for you to say. Go »
Vladimir Nabokov
Although best known for his "love" story between a teenager and the stepfather sexually obsessed with her, his own true love was chess, where he manipulated his king, queen, and knight to seize glory by overcoming the losin' defense of his opponents. Go »
Mac McAnally
Not that long down the road is a crazy world where he came from with a junk car and a lovely opinion about making country music. Go »
Margareta Magnusson
True to her principles, parts of her house in Sweden were empty three months ago. Go »

Jay Laga'aia
He's practically Disney royalty, having been a Lion King, a royal guard in Star Wars, and the father of the princess Moana. Go »
Viggo Mortensen
What is it about this guy and subterranean disasters? He's been in one in Thai cave with Colin Farrell, one in a New York tunnel with Sylvester Stallone, one in a California hotel basement with Vince Vaughn, and one in a Middle-Earth mine with Ian McKellen. Go »
Bel Kaufman
This lifelong educator defied expectations: Her hit novel was about the difficulties of being an English teacher and not about getting lost in a confusing school layout, and she kept teaching past her 100th birthday because she found it humorous and not because she couldn't afford to retire. Go »
