Sculpture by Michaelangelo (He was Italian, ya know) (Photo by Merlin) Some celebrities are famous for their achievements alone. Others gain notoriety for things they've done (whether the stories are true or apocryphal), unusual comments they've made, or kooky political or social beliefs. But sometimes a famous fellow achieves a certain level of infamy simply for the size and scope of his, er, body of work. The length and girth of his resume, as it were. The heft of his talents. The sheer magnitude of his, uh, contributions to the arts. This Saturday would be Milton Berle's 100th birthday, and as we fondly recall his legendarily lengthy career, we can't help but smirk at some of the more colorful anecdotes about his prodigious... list of achievements. Eight decades in show business. First superstar in television. Original inductee in the Television Hall of Fame. Such a colossal star, he might have required a three-day funeral. But Mr. Television is hardly the only member in this considerable club. Through the years, rumors have abounded of stars with copious natural gifts, from Errol Flynn to Frank Sinatra, Willem Dafoe to Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell to Ewan McGregor. There's even an annual "h-list" of Hollywood's most substantial leading men -- allegedly compiled each year since the '40s via an anonymous post office box, with reports from industry wardrobe folks and others with the inside scoop. We tried to find more information about this list of stars with imposing talents -- in the name of professional research, of course -- but came up somewhat short. Until the undoubtedly monumental announcement of this generation's Milton Berle, we'll have to rely on gossip rags and secondhand reports of hulking Hollywood hunks -- or perhaps just start our own rumors.
