- Summary:
- Luciano Pavarotti: Luciano Pavarotti is better known for his soaring voice, but in 2001 The UN high commission for Refugees awarded him the Nansen Medal, recognizing that he'd raised more money for refugees than any other individual Rudyard Kipling: Rudyard Kipling, England's most distinguished modern poet, achieved fame for his vivid word paintings of the exotic east. But for Kipling, the east wasn't the 'other'; it was home. He was born in Bombay in 1865 at the height of the British Empire to cultured middle-class Anglo-Indian parents. The India of Kipling's childhood was full of color and warmth and its sights and sounds nourished the sensitive young child. Judy Garland: It was Judy Garland's starring role as Dorothy gale in the Wizard of Oz that made her a superstar. Everything about the film works, but Judy's heart-breaking rendition of 'Over the Rainbow' is truly unforgettable. It became her signature tune and was judged the number one movie song of all time by the American Film Institute. Michael Schumacher: In the fast-paced world of competitive motor sport, they don't come any greater than German-born Formula One champion Michael Schumacher. Statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen, Schumacher has won seven world championships. John F. Kennedy, Part 1: Although he occupied the White House for less than three years, few Presidents have had the impact of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. JFK was born in 1917, the second son of a wealthy Irish-Catholic Massachusetts family. Kennedy joined the US Navy during the Second World War and saw Active Service, receiving a Navy and Marine Corps Medal for Heroism.
