HARRY HOUDINI (1874-1959)
By the age of seven, Houdini was able to suspend himself upside down from a rope and pick pins from the floor with his eyelashes.
ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1959)
The first sentence the scientist ever spoke is alleged to have been "The soup is too hot". He was 5 years old. His mother was amazed because he had never said anything beforehand, not even a word. Asked why he hadn't spoken until then, he replied, " Because I didn't see any need to." He was so quiet that for a time his parents feared he might even been retarded.
GROUCHO MARX (1895-1977)
He made his first public appearance as a boy soprano in church, being dismissed for puncturing an organ bellows with a hatpin. He entered vaudeville originally as a female impersonator.
JOHN BETJEMAN (1906-84)
When he was a small boy, he used to lie on the side of the road pretending to be dead so that passing motorists would stop to see what the matter was. He continued the practise into his adulthood, even as a teacher, much to the delight of the children in his care, who placed bets among themselves as to which vehicles would stop.
JACK NICHOLSON
He grew up under the impression that his mother (who gave birth to him out of wedlock) was his elder sister and his grandmother his mother. His mother's sisters also posed as his sisters. He was 37 before he learned the truth.
JIM MORRISON (1943-71)
If he was late for school in youth, his excuse was usually that he had been help up by bandits or else kidnapped by gypsies. He walked out of a classroom one day explaining to his teacher that he was due to be operated on later that day for a brain tumour.
Morrison once tied one end of a piece of string round his ear and put the other end in his mouth. If anybody commented, he said he had a tiny bucket hanging down his throat to collect saliva for medical tests.
RICHARD HEBER
Heber was known for have travelled up to 500miles to procure a title that interests him. He didn't just buy one book at a a time, he kept three copies of every book he owned: one for his own use, one for exhibiting and a third for lending. He filled two houses in London with books as well as his family house and went on to fill warehouses in Paris, Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels.
