Featuring a wide range of personalities—including sports figures, politicians, writers, captains of industry, actors and actresses, physicians, and scientists—this is a unique look at the missteps of some of the most noted individuals of both the past and the present day. There’s the best-selling novelist who can't forgive himself for choking when appearing for charity on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and the famous talk show host whose wife won’t forgive himfor turning down an invitation to dinner with Clint Eastwood.
