John Stark was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire in 1728. When he was eight years old, he and his family moved to Derryfield (now part of Manchester), where he lived for the rest of his long life. Stark was married to Elizabeth "Molly" Page, with whom he had 11 children.\n\nOn April 28, 1752 while on a hunting and trapping trip along the Baker River a tributary of the Pemigewasset River where he was captured by Abenaki warriors and brought back to Quebec but not before warning his brother William Stark to paddle away in his canoe though David Stinson was killed. While a prisoner of the Abinaki he and his fellow prisoner Amos Eastman were made to run a gauntlet of warriors armed with sticks. Stark grabbed the stick from the first warrior's hands and proceeded to attack him, taking the rest of the warriors by surprise. The chief was so impressed by this heroic act that Stark was adopted into the tribe where he spent the winter. Then next spring a government agent sent from Massachusetts to work on the exchange of prisoners paid his ransom of $103 Spanish dollars and $60 for Amos Eastman. Stark and Eastman then returned to New Hampshire.\n\nStark enlisted as a second lieutenant under Major Robert Rogers during the French and Indian War. As part of the daring Rogers' Rangers, Stark gained valuable battle experience and knowledge of the Northern frontier of the American colonies. At the end of the war, Stark retired as a captain and returned to Derryfield.

Well, heck, if you like Ellis' work, then Invincible Iron Man is for you.  But then again, Transmetropolitan is one heck of a book...\n\nMy recommendations would be Garth Ennis' Preacher, Dave Sim's Cerebus, Jeff Smith's Bone, Neil Gaiman's Sandman to name a few... But those are mostly indie stuff that you may already know about.\n\nWith that in mind, I am assuming that you want to read about superheroes with quite a bit of depth to them - no shallow cookie cutter stuff for you!\n\nHow about The Powers, Violent Messiahs, Noble Causes, and heck, even Batman, Spiderman, X-men are quite good titles, as they involve well-fleshed out characters.  I'd suggest the Ultimate line with the two Marvel lines, and perhaps someone could add a good series for you to dive into when it comes to Batman, as I know there's a few different titles starring Wayne....

I emailed Andrea Jackson with that very question.  I got back only this;  John has decided to explore other opportunities outside of TV news.\n\nWell, she did answer the question, but I was hoping for a little more information.

Al Jolson was a much beloved Jewish performer in early 20th century America who became very popular as a singer and later an actor, in early talkies. In retrospect he is best known for his "black face" brand of entertainment (masquerading and singing as a black man), which was commonplace in the days of Vaudeville and for several decades preceding it. Jolson was considered a genius artist by his peers (and apparently he agreed with them) and continued to have success as a radio performer until his death.

I have no idea. I don't think they are anyone famous. A web search has only turned up links to the UK census and historic documents. Do you have any other information about this person such as where they lived, in what context you came across their name, age etc etc. There are lots of websites that can help you track down people, both living and dead, but you need a little bit more than just a name.

So basically everyone has said what he is most known for. Personally, The Third Man is a fantastic film in which he utilized his talents as best as he could. \nIf you're not familiar with actor Joseph Cotton, I really recommend this one- it is such a classy classic.

River Phoenix\n\nI think he could have been one of the greatest.  If only he would've gotten the help that he obviously needed.\n\nThe same goes for Chris Farley.  He was hilarious.
