Appreciating: Six word memoirs

NPR (National Public Radio) in the U.S has a nifty multimedia project up on their website at the moment where they have asked 26 notable cultural figures to put an image of themselves together with 6 words to sum up their lives.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the only person I had heard of was Harvey Pekar (cartoonist/author of American Splendor)



Some of the people they used though - fortunately for me - didn't really register with Google either. Of the 10 entries for Carletta Perkins, 5 of them were referencing this page with the quote about cake. (Great way to be remembered :)
