I liked both George Burns and DeForest Kelley. Burns was in three Bing Crosby movies; Burns' video is classic. Kelley and Bing were in Variety Girl together, along with most Paramount stars. Patricia Neal was a great actress. Arte Johnson was "very interesting." Thanks for another great hub.

Buzz Aldrin is my hero, just to be the first two persons to land on the moon is a great achievement. Twin Peaks was another great series I loved to watch when they aired it first. Full of suspense, David Lynch was awesome.

This time you have nice guys! Aldrin and Burns, love them both!

No: 2 people are like the moon; kind and gentle. 

Aldrin went one step further, and stepped on the moon!

As much I hate Linkin Park, I just can't hate. You had to include him I guess. 

Bill Maher, Buzz Aldrin & David Lynch are all pioneers! 

Oh and by the way KISS fans, the Kiss song Christine Sixteen was sampled by Tone Loc for his hit FUNKY COLD MEDINA

I know Arte Johnson from his 70's children's TV show HOT FUDGE!
