At the age of 21 he moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where he became a prominent politician and, eventually, the President of the United State. The only President elected from the state of Indiana. Harrison is also one of a very select group of Presidents to have a Disney song written about them. In 1968 the Sherman Brothers wrote “Oh, Benjamin Harrison” for the film, The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band. Honor Harrison by visiting The Hall of Presidents at The Magic Kingdom. I could go there every day.

Amy Lou Adams was born in Vicenza, Italy of American parents in 1974. Adams has amassed quite a career as some impressive ladies: Lois Lane in Man of Steel, Julie Powell in Julie and Julia, Giselle in Enchanted and Mary in The Muppets.
