Princess Diana
(Diana Frances Mountbatten-Windsor; ne Spencer;
1 July 1961 31 August 1997)
Princess Diana was an iconic figure of the late
20th Century. During her life she was often said to
be the most photographed person, appearing on the
cover of People magazine more than anyone else.
She epitomised feminine beauty and glamour. At the
same time, she was admired for her ground-breaking charity work; in particular
her work with AIDS patient,s and supporting the campaign for banning
landmines. Married to Prince Charles in 1981, she received the title of Her Royal
Highness Princess Diana of Wales She is the Mother of Prince William and Prince
Harry 2nd and 3rd in line to the throne respectively.

Diana was born to an aristocratic family who links to the Royal Family. Her
father was Edward Spencer, Viscount Althorp. Edward Spencer was a direct
descendent of Charles II.. Her mother was Frances Viscountess Althorp. Her
mother was distantly related with the Queen Mother, and was also of American
descent. When Diana was young, her parents divorced with her father winning a
bitter battle for custody of the children. Diana grew up in the family home of Park
House, before moving to Althorp in 1975. Diana did not shine as a student, but
did well in music and ballet. When she met her future husband, Diana was
working as a part time assistant in a nursery school in London
In 1981, Diana married Prince Charles. Diana was 13 years the junior, at
an age of just 20, Charles by contrast was 33 at the time of the wedding. The
general public soon warmed to the innocence and beauty of Princess Diana, and
the wedding was watched by over 1 billion people world wide. During their
marriage they had two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. However, in the mid
1980s, strains started to appear in the marriage, and under much publicity the
marriage broke up leading to a divorce in 1992. During this period Diana is said
to have suffered various health problems such as bulimia and depression.
As Princess of Wales, Diana was expected to take part in various
official engagements, such as, opening of hospitals. This provided a natural

outlet for her to become involved in various types of charitable work. Her natural
sympathy and oneness with patients was much admired. In 1987, Princess Diana
was one of the first well known celebrities to be photographed with a victim of
AIDS.This was important in changing attitudes to the disease. At the time, many
thought the disease could be contacted by touch alone. Another of her high
profile charities, was her involvement in the campaign to ban landmines. In
January 1997, she visited mine fields in Angola to inspect the clearing of
landmines. After her death, the Ottawa treaty, was signed banning the use of
anti-personnel landmines. Many agree that her support and role in the campaign
played an important role in influencing this decision.
Shortly before her death, June 18th Princess Diana met with Mother
Teresa. Both admired each other. Mother Teresa always said Diana is my
daughter. With utmost humility Diana said I am a very, very small Mother
Teresa.
Despite the pervasive press intrusions into her private life, Diana remained
very popular because people could identify with her. Her hands on approach to
charity work gave the impression of a new type of Royal, who was no longer so
remote.
Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something
back if only they had the chance.
Diana died on 31st August, 1997, in a car crash involving Dodi Al-Fayed.
(see last moments ofPrincess Diana) It was said they were being chased by
paparazzi at the time the fatal accident. Although, the inquest noted that the
driver was also under the influence of drugs and drink. Controversy still
surrounds her death, with a further inquest still underway.(3) The death of Diana
had a profound impact on the British public and those in other countries. It led to
an unprecedented outpouring of grief and sympathy, for a person people had
taken into their hearts. Over 1 million bouquets of flowers were laid at
Buckingham Palace. Her funeral was watched by countless millions around the
world. Her final resting place was her family home of Althorp.

Bruce Lee
The Chinese American actor Bruce Lee, was born
in San Francisco on November 27, 1940. Born a sickly child, he was named Li Jun
Fan a female name by his mother to ward off evil spirits. His dad an Hong Kong
opera singer returned back to Hong Kong along with his family in 1941.
As a kid martial arts and bodybuilding were his only preoccupation, studies
didnt interest him. In 1946 he appeared in first of many films as a child actor. He
appeared in 20 movies and rarely in school. He soon became involved with a
gang and his mother shipped him back to America before his 18th birthday so he
could claim his dual-citizenship and avoid winding up in jail.
He soon picked up a job teaching the Wing Chun style of martial arts that
he had learned in Hong Kong. Lee also studied philosophy at the University of
Washington, at the same time acquiring his considerable skills in the martial arts
like karate, kung-fu, and so on. Shortly after, Lee landed his first US show-biz role
Kato in The Green Hornet, A 1966-67 TV superhero drama from the creators of
Batman. However, Lee could not get Hollywood to embrace him and hence
returned to Hong Kong to make films.
He made the Fists of Fury (1971), his martial arts debut. Almost
immediately, he became a cult figure, and the world-wide martial arts
phenomenon was under way. The plots of all films he made were uniform: Lee
makes a vow not to fight; people close to Lee are exploited and Lee kills in
retaliation. The films set box-office records in Asia and Hollywood finally gave
him an action movie. But Lee died a month before the release of his first US film
Enter the Dragon, considered the king of KungFu movies. During the filming of
Game of Death Lee died mysteriously of brain edema.
