Ho Chi Minh, of communist Vietnam fame, once worked as a baker at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston back in the nineteen-teens. Learned this useful fact while watching a clip on Food Network about Boston Cream Pie, which, interesting in and of itself, is actually a cake.

He also killed his master to escape slavery.
Don't know about boning Pocahontas though - she was around 8-10 years old when they met. Don't believe the Disney version of John Smith/Pocahontas.

etween that and being a Nazi sympathizer, Lucky Lindy was kind of a dick.
I don't know if he was a dick, or if he was simply very shy and uncomfortable with fame. He was the superstar of his day and didn't seem to enjoy that.

I watched a program about what Churchill went through as a young man. Really interesting stuff.
Daddy fricked whores and had syphillis and Jr. became one of the singularly worst secretaries of the navy in the entire history of the United Kingdom.
Don't call it a comeback

His mother was a noted beauty. She died of complications from breaking her ankle after trying to walk downstairs in a new and unfamiliar pair of high heel shoes.

HOT LIPS: That was a great speech you made, Frank. You're a born leader, just like Churchill. His mother was American, you know.

If anyone ever deserved a movie it was Jean Lafitte
It's actually quite entertaining. My favorite scene has Lafitte in a swordfight against the villain in the dungeon of The Cabildo. (Did it have one? Well it does in this movie)

Before the surrender at Appamattox, Grant and Lee first met each other almost 20 years earlier during the Mexican War.
quote:
Entering the house, Grant greeted Lee in the center of the room. The generals presented a contrasting appearance; Lee in a new uniform and Grant in his mud-spattered field uniform. Grant, who remembered meeting Lee once during the Mexican War, asked the Confederate general if he recalled their meeting. Lee replied that he did, and the two conversed in a very cordial manner, for approximately 25 minutes. The subject had not yet gotten around to surrender until finally, Lee, feeling the anguish of defeat, brought Grant's attention to it. Grant, who later confessed to being embarrassed at having to ask for the surrender from Lee, said simply that the terms would be just as he had outlined them in a previous letter.

Churchill
First to mind. Fought in the Boer war and escaped a prison camp, walking alone across the African plain.
Was sacked after Galipoli. Volunteered to fight in the trenches instead of retiring back to the country.
There's other examples... His biography is probably the biggest page turner you'll read.

In the same vein of badassery, Kurt Vonnegut managed the first American Saab dealership before it went out of business within a year.
