Lucky Ass Hall Of Fame

[sr71blackbird]

I heard this bit on another radio show tonite a few minutes ago (didnt hear what show it was).  Basically they were listing people who came into fame by default at someone elses misfortune.  They had Gerald Ford, or Ringo Starr.  So, name some people who became famous after someone else's destruction.  Go!

[Team_Ramrod]

Courtney Love

[Tall_James]

Lou Gehrig - but that ended badly as well.
