How acurate are these sources...if its true that's really cool/horrible. Thoes people are so famous and wondeful. Its hard to imagine them having such a crippling impediment.

Wait that was from the national stuttering foundation? It must be real then.

Aren't we lucky? "We are in very good company"!!! The person who gives me the most inspiration is Sir Winston Churchill.He epitomises the art of public speaking in my opinion. Remember,Sir Winston & King George VI led Britain to victory in WWII.(Both men stuttered.)

i was watching an espn documentary on ron love once and they said that his stuttering was pretty bad. it really wasn't until the end or close to the end of his playing career that he "conquered" it or at least had the biggest improvements. even now, he still does it a little bit. the others on that list i'm not sure of.

Hi there. The same question crossed my mind too;I know where you're coming from; but by the same token, Mr C.N.N. himself(James Earl Jones) could not say a single word without stuttering.Focus on the positive my friend, focus on the positive.
