3. Yogi Berra
4. Neil Armstrong
5. Clive Davis
6. Karl Malden

And 8.5 years later, Antropov's first pick finally keels over.

Fidel Castro completely stole Florence Henderson's thunder.
Much the same way Michael Jackson overshadowed Farrah Fawcet, and Heath Ledger made people forget Brad Renfro even existed.
