Five Successful People Who Were Born A Love Child
A young mother and reader wrote to me today asking if there were any famous people who were born out of wedlock. We've talked about this in the past (not the illegitimate topic, you can find that from an article in January, 2011 (http://myfivebest.com/five-famous-people-who-thought-their-mother-was-their-sister/) but with a different twist. This woman wanted to know some really famous people. Since I've never had anyone ask me for a specific article, I thought I'd give it a try. Being born out of wedlock is not a 21st century invention.

Here are five of our most important Founding Fathers and some of the things they did. Read more...
