Sidney Poitier, born in 1927, turns 91 next week. In 1964, he became the first black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor (for Lilies of the Field). His parents, Bahamian farmers, were in Miami to sell their produce when the youngest of their eight sons arrived two months before he was due. He was not expected to survive. Poitier spent his early childhood on Cat Island in the Bahamas. When he was 10, his family moved to Nassau, where he saw an automobile for the first time, and first experienced electricity, plumbing, refrigeration, and motion pictures. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1974 and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2009. Here at age 28 in 1955 in his breakout role: Blackboard Jungle

I haven't been watching this thread, so I only noticed today that you (@jjkrkwood) are having a heart tune-up this week. Just want to chime in with the many others who are wishing you well and will be thinking of you. (If this involves any overnights in the hospital (?), will one of the smaller Louis Vuittons be put into service? Send those doctors and nurses a message that you are a man who is used to and expects top quality!)

Jon Hinson (1942-1995) was a Republican U.S. Representative for Mississippi's 4th congressional district from 1979 to 1981, and, later, a Washington, DC-based gay rights activist. He worked as a page for Democratic U.S. Representative John Bell Williams in 1959 and, later, served on the staffs of Representatives Charles H. Griffin, a Democrat, and Thad Cochran, a Republican. In 1978, Cochran ran successfully for the Senate and Hinson was elected to succeed him in the House. On October 24, 1977, Hinson survived a fire at the Washington, D.C. Gay Cinema Follies. Firefighters found him under a pile of bodies; he was one of only four men rescued. In 1980, Hinson admitted that, while an aide to Cochran in 1976, he had been arrested for committing an obscene act after he exposed himself to an undercover policeman. Hinson denied that he was homosexual, blamed his problems on alcohol, said he had reformed and refused to resign. Married at the time, he won re-election, but was arrested again on February 4, 1981, and charged with attempted sodomy for performing oral sex on a male employee of the Library of Congress in a restroom of the House of Representatives. The charge was a felony that could have resulted in 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Since both parties were consenting adults (and social attitudes were changing), the U.S. Attorney's office reduced the charge to a misdemeanor. Hinson subsequently received a 30-day jail sentence (suspended) and a year's probation. He resigned on April 13, 1981, three months into his second term in the House, and soon thereafter acknowledged that he was homosexual. He later helped to organize the lobbying group "Virginians for Justice" and fought against the ban on gays in the military. He was also a founding member of the Fairfax (VA) Lesbian and Gay Citizens Association. Hinson died of respiratory failure resulting from AIDS in Silver Spring, Maryland, at the age of fifty-three. http://imageslogotv-a.akamaihd.net/uri/mgid:file:http:shared:s3.amazonaws.com/articles.newnownext.com-production/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/hinson.jpg-1459100757.png?quality=0.85&format=jpg&width=480

Wiesław Chrzanowski (1923-2012), politician and lawyer, was a member of the Polish anti-Nazi resistance organization, the Home Army, during World War II. Years later, during the second half of the 1970s, he became associated with the opposition to the communist government in Poland. He helped to draft the statutes establishing the Solidarity trade union and was the lawyer who guided the legal registration process of the organization. From 1991-93, he was the Sejm Marshal (the speaker of the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament). Below, he is seen at age 21 (1944) during the Warsaw Uprising, the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during WWII.

Are you sure that's not just the effect he's having on you?

Harry Houdini (1874-1926), escape artist. Born Erik Weisz to a Jewish family in Budapest, he came to the U.S. at age 4, made his public debut at age 9 in a trapeze act (billed as "Ehrich, the Prince of the Air"), and later renamed himself after the French magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin.

Jacques Pépin (born 1935, now 82), French chef, television personality and author, worked after school in his parents' restaurant. He quit school at 13 to apprentice in a kitchen, learning to cook by watching and imitating the chef. At 17, Pépin moved to Paris and worked in some of the best restaurants of the day, training under Lucien Diat at the Plaza Athénée before moving on to Maxim's and Fouquet's. A friend who worked for France's Secretary of the Treasury then led him to a position as personal chef to three heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle. In 1959 Pépin came to the United States to work at Le Pavillon in New York City. He subsequently earned a B.A. from Columbia University's School of General Studies and, in 1972, an M.A. in French literature from the Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Here, in his 20s:
