At age 11 SLASH moved to Los Angeles with his mother while his father remained based in England. Born in the UK, SLASH was an immigrant in the United States and was to remain one for many years. The family eventually lived together again in L.A. where SLASH had a rough transition to conservative Southern California. The long hair, jeans and t-shirts that he wore even then didn't exactly fit with the other kids. An outsider at school, he lived a bohemian life at home. Surrounded by artistic friends of his parents, SLASH grew accustomed to the moods and eccentricities of those in the music world. Frequent visitors at the Hudson household included Joni Mitchell, David Geffen, David Bowie, Ron Wood and Iggy Pop. SLASH has said that these surroundings prepared him for coping with the stress of the music industry, the conflict between artistry and business. |

Amalia Rodrigues
Revered by aficionados of fado world-wide, who would sometimes kneel when she came on stage, her voice came to personify the painful tones of "saudade" - longing or yearning - that is at the heart of fado, an enigmatic word whose nearest translation is fate or destiny. Rooted in African and Arabic cultures, fado was first sung by homesick Portuguese sailors in the 15th and 16th centuries. Sometimes described as a cross between blues and opera, the haunting lyrics are often - as they were in Rodrigues's case - derived from the classical Portuguese poets, such as Camoes, and are accompanied by a quartet of the unique mandolin-like 12-string Portuguese guitars. • Amalia Rodrigues, singer, born July 23 1920; died October 6 1999 But the legend of Amalia, from her humble roots to film stardom, is almost as mythical as it is sometimes controversial. Her true date of birth is controversial - her mother told her she was born when the cherry tree came into blossom - and she was used by the Salazar dictatorship to put an accept able international face on the regime. |

Reese led Brooklyn to seven pennants in his 16 seasons, and his 46 World Series hits rank fifth all-time. Did you know ... that on May 21, 1952, Pee Wee Reese became the only National League player in the 20th century to safely reach base three times in one inning? In the 1950's and possibly into the 60's he was the CBS Baseball Game of the week tv broadcaster along with Dizzy Dean. |

From the tender age of five, Dan had expressed an interest in acting, although his early experiences were limited to playing a monkey in a school production ("I hope no one ever finds any pictures of that!"). He became involved in the acting profession "by accident". He had missed out on auditioning for a part in a television production of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist - his parents didn't think it would be a very good idea - but he was destined to make his small screen debut as another of Dickens' famous titular characters: David Copperfield, starring alongside Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins. 
Amalia Rodrigues, the world's greatest singer of traditional Portuguese "fado" music, has died aged 79. Three days of official mourning and the partial suspension of campaigning for this weekend's general election reflect Portugal's love of a woman who was arguably the country's leading public figure this century.
