- Summary:
- Margaret Thatcher, Part 2: Margaret Thatcher's 1979 election victory was a stunning result for the 53-year-old politician. The 44-seat majority represented a significant mandate and Thatcher made full use of the opportunities. She was given a rock star's welcome by the adoring crowd that mobbed her outside number 10 Downing Street during her first days in office. And Thatcher wasted no time in rolling out her 'conservative manifesto'. Salvador Dali: The name 'Dali' has become a synonym for the fantastic and the absurd, an immortality that delighted quirky artist Salvador Dali. Throughout his colorful and productive life, Dali played on people's fascination with the weird and wacky, although he was sometimes criticized for putting commerce before art. Dolly Parton: Despite schoolboy jokes that would have you think otherwise, Dolly Parton actually has three amazing natural assets that mark her out as one of the true greats in the pantheon of country music stars. Not only is she a terrific singer, and extremely gifted songwriter, she also has outstanding business smarts. Smarts that have kept her at the top of the show business tree for over four decades. Jesse Owens: Jesse Owens was the son of a sharecropper and the grandson of a slave. But he had the world's attention at the 1936 Berlin Olympics when he left Hitler's Aryan supremacy theories in the dust and collected four individual gold medals. Humphrey Bogart: The man who the American Film Institute dubbed the 'greatest male star of all time' in 1999 was born exactly one hundred years before on Christmas Day 1899. With wealthy upper middle class parents, Humphrey Bogart's natural milieu was the drawing rooms of Manhattan and yet he eventually found fame as Hollywood's favorite gangster and tough guy.
