1840 - Auguste Rodin
The most famous sculptor of modern history. The way he was able to make his work so expressive is amazing to me.




Rodin was HAWT!





1929 - Grace Kelly
Kelly was an Academy Award-winng actress who later married the Prince of Monaco. She was a fantastic actress and real class act.

1945 - Neil Young
There is no middle ground with Neil Young, you either love or hate this Canadian singer-songwriter/rocker. I've been a huge fan since high school. I remember one of my classmates sang "Sugar Mountain" at our Talent Show. After the show I asked him if he had written the song, he said "No, Neil Young wrote that song." He let me borrow his copy of "Decade" and I was blown away. I have a ton of respect for Neil, he experiments with the music he likes not what will necessarily sell.

1965 - Vic Chesnutt
This is a singer-songwriter that not many people know of outside of the south. He lives in Athens, Georgia. Bands such as R.E.M., Garbage, The Smashing Pumpkins and Madonna have all recorded covers of his songs.

1980 - Ryan Gosling
If you looked up the definition of the word "yummy" Ryan's picture would be shown. This Canadian actor is a part of the "New Young Guns" of Hollywood. This Mickey Mouse Club alum got his breakout role in "The Notebook" co-staring with Rachel McAdams. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in "Half Nelson", in which he plays an inner-city High School teacher addicted to crack.
