- Albert Einstein did not speak
until he was 4 and did not read until he was 7! His parents thought he was “subnormal” and one of his teachers described him as “mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams”. He was expelled from school.
- Charles Shultz, the creator of the
comic strip Peanuts, had every cartoon rejected that submitted to his high school yearbook staff!
- Fed Astaire had his first screen
tests with the director at MGM which resulted in a 1933 memo with the following comments: “Cant sing. Cant act. Slightly
- bald. Can dance a little.”
Astaire kept that memo over the fireplace at his Beverly Hills home.
- The Beatles were turned down
by Decca Records wit this fascinating evaluation: “We don’t like their sound. Guitar groups are on their way out.”
