Stephen Hawking (1942)

Hawking is one of the world's leading theoretical physicists, and his work in the field of general relativity provided mathematical support for the big bang theory of the origin of the universe. He continues to work and teach, despite being severely disabled by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a degenerative disease that confines him to a wheelchair and forces him to use a voice synthesizer to communicate

Jimmy Page (1944)

One of the most influential guitarists in the history of rock music, Page started his career as a highly sought-after studio guitarist in England. Under his direction, Led Zeppelin became one of the era's most successful rock groups, redefining the musical sound of the 1970s. Page has co-written many popular rock anthems, including "Stairway to Heaven," a song that has been the subject of controversy since reports that it contains a subliminal message surfaced

Gerhard Richter (born February 9, 1932)


Richter is considered one of the foremost German artists of the post-World War II period, and the prices his paintings fetch at auction reflect this distinction. Unwilling to settle on any one approach, Richter has varied his style from austere photorealism to pure abstraction. Richter's photo-paintings, which reproduce photographic images on canvas in exacting detail, explore the tension between reality and its depiction, between process and material.

Yuri Gagarin (1934)

Gagarin was a Russian cosmonaut who, in 1961, became the first human being to successfully travel into space. Gagarin circled the earth once during his 1-hour-and-48-minute flight aboard the Vostok 1. His success is believed to have ushered in the modern era of man in space, and Gagarin toured widely to promote the Soviet achievement. Ironically, he died in a plane crash just seven years later

Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533)

Queen Elizabeth, England's last Tudor monarch, came to the throne during a turbulent period in the nation's history. Although she has been described as vain, miserly, and fickle, she was remarkably successful as queen. During her reign, England pursued a policy of expansionism in commerce and geographical exploration, defeating the Spanish Armada and colonizing North America. Literature and the arts flourished during the period as well.
