Here is an idea I had this morning. In this tread, we write Obituaries for Famous Historical Figures and Celebraties from different Alternate Histories. To keep things simple, we should probably limit this to the Post-1900-Era. I'll start with an example...

Ronald W. Reagan
1911-2005
Ronald Reagan will always be more famous as a politician than he was as an actor. If you were to ask someone to name one of his films, they would probably come up blank, except for the clut classic, Bonzo the Chimp.Reagan achieved more success on the stage of politics, a career which began in 1964, when he gave a well-received speech for Goldwater's Presidential champaign for President. This caught the eye of many, and it launched Reagan into politics, who would go on to serve as the Governor of California. many speculated that Reagan would make a run for the Presidency someday, but when the time came in 1980, he was deemed to old in the eyes of voters.He lost a close race to incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Regardless, Reagan would remain popular with many Republicans, and he played a key role in getting Howard Baker into the White House in 1984. DUring the 90's, Reagan began to suffer from alzhiemer's disease, and retreated away from public life. He died late in the afternoon this passing Saturday. He leaves behind his wife Nancy, and their children.

So, any takers? :)
