Gordon James Ramsay was once a promising young soccer player before a serious injury forced him to give up on the sport that he loved.

Soon, he would shift his focus to the kitchen, and a meteoric rise to the top of the culinary world would begin.

Ramsay would become one of the most recognizable chefs in history, launching critically acclaimed restaurants around the world and a slew of hit television shows including Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, MasterChef, and more.

He would also gain a reputation for his hair-trigger temper, coarse language, and appetite for confrontation.

Marilyn would become a bonafide icon: a slice of Americana, a scandalous sex symbol, and the face of Hollywood’s golden age.

Her personal life was turbulent, with multiple failed marriages and high-profile love affairs. She eventually spiraled into addiction, before her untimely death at the age of 36.

Carrie Frances Fisher was born into Hollywood royalty, the daughter of actress Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher.

It was no surprise then when she was cast in the iconic role of Princess Leia in the 1977 film Star Wars, a performance that would define her for the rest of her life.

Harvey Phillip Spector was widely considered to be the first true auteur record producer.

His trademark “Wall of Sound” can be heard on albums by The Beatles, The Ramones, The Righteous Brothers, The Ronettes, and so many more.

Artists like Brian Wilson and John Lennon have called him “the greatest record producer of all time”, but a chaotic personal life and penchant for violence were simmering beneath the surface.

It would all culminate in 2003, when actress Lana Clarkson was found dead from a single gunshot wound in Spector’s home.

Johnny Cash was “The Man in Black”, a trailblazing country musician, who famously penned songs of outlaws and redemption.

He is one of the best-selling songwriters of all-time, and his songs have earned him a place in the country, rock & roll, and gospel halls of fame.

His personal life was not without its own tribulations, though.

His outlaw image was well-substantiated through years of hard drug use, marital woes, and run-ins with the law.

Martha Stewart is one of the most recognizable media figures in American history.

Following a successful modeling career in her teenage years, and a brief stint as a stockbroker, Martha would rise to fame in the 1980s to become the face of homemaking in the United States and around the world.

From there, a true media empire was born, with bestselling books, magazines, television shows, and merchandise all bearing her name.

The success has not come without controversy, though.

Edward Murphy is without a doubt one of the most successful comics in history.

Despite his turbulent upbringing in Brooklyn, NY, his rise to superstardom was positively meteoric.

After joining the cast of Saturday Night Live at the age of 19, he would become one of America's biggest box office attractions, starring in films and stand-up specials that remain among the highest grossing of all time.

His material at the time was provocative and controversial, though, and in many cases, it has not aged particularly well.

This week, we're asking the question: Is Eddie Murphy the worst?

There are few creatives in the history of the world who have a legacy as enduring as Walter Elias Disney.

From iconic animated characters like Mickey Mouse to theme parks, films, and so much more, his creations have become a cornerstone of American culture.
