Macaulay Culkin And Vladimir Putin
Macaulay Culkin, everyone’s favorite holiday hero, gave us two Christmas classics in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, but his childhood doppelganger is far from being America’s most adored (and adorable) adolescent. Culkin, in all of his ‘90s glory, looks a lot like someone from overseas whose name pops up in the news every now and then.
Queen Latifah And Zora Neale Hurston
When it comes to the arts, Queen Latifah is a jack of all trades. She performs raps, writes her own lyrics, acts, and even produces. She’s also a well-known essayist and author, and she’s definitely not Queen Latifah, but Zora Neale Hurston. Whoa. Hurston, the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God, was a hugely influential African-American author who helped launch the Harlem Renaissance, paving the way for a generation of artists to thrive in a world full of possibilities. Queen Latifah may not be singing any American classics, but she is ensuring Hurston’s continued artistic success.
