(July 18, 1913 – September 17, 1997)

  
     Ben (Bernard) Turpin (September 19, 1869– July 1, 1940)

Turpin was a comedian and actor, best remembered for his work in silent
films. His famous eyes, he said, only crossed as a young adult after he 
suffered an accident. Turpin was convinced that the crossed eyes were
essential to his comic career; his co-workers recalled that after he received
any blow to the head he made a point of looking at himself in the mirror to
assure himself that they had not become uncrossed.

Keanu Charles Reeves

The Canadian born actor is best known for his roles in Bill & Ted’s Excellent
Adventure (1989), Speed (1994), Point Break (1991), and The Matrix trilogy 
as Neo (1999-2003-2003).

Excelling in hockey, Reeves originally intended on becoming an Olympic
hockey player for Canada. A serious injury ended this dream.
