Famous people with 'disabilities'

[Oneeyedvic]

I am doing a presentation to a group of 13/14 year olds - it is meant to be inspiring. I want to mention a lot of people who have either overcome adversity / disabilities to become very famous - eg:

Albert Einstein / Tom Cruise / Jamie Oliver - dyslexia
Beethoven / deaf
Sir Steven Redgrave / Dennis Rodman - asthmatic
Julius Caesar / Danny Glover - epilepsy
Stevie Wonder - blind

any other people (preferably ones that 13/14 year olds will know / relate to)?

Halle Berry is diabetic, Quentin Tarantino has dyslexia.

Vic, more about Rick Allen here. He has set up a charity to encourage disabled children to overcome their challenges.
