Kray twins - Kray twins Ronald Kray (1933 - 1995) and Reginald Kray (1933 - 2000) were twin brothers, and the foremost organised crime leaders in London in the 1960s. Ron was the dominant twin, and a psychopath. The twins were born in Hoxton, in the East End, to Charlie and Violet Kray, and had one older brother, also called Charlie. In 1939, they moved to Vallance Road, Bethnal Green. Their father was called up early in World War II, but deserted. The twins saw little of their father during the war years, and grew very close to their mother. The frequent presence of Military Police hardened an already pronounced anti-authoritarian attitude in Ron and Reg, who were both to desert from the army later in life. The influence.

David Bailey - found themselves elevated to celebrity status. Together, they were the first real celebrity photographers. The Swinging London scene was aptly reflected in his Box of Pin-Ups (1964): a box of poster-prints of 1960s celebrities and socialites including Terence Stamp, The Beatles, and notorious East End gangsters The Kray Twins. The box was an unusal and unique commercial release, and it reflected the changing status of the photographer that one could sell a collection of prints in this way. In 1966, the movie Blowup was made. The film concerned itself with the work (and sexual perks) of a London fashion photographer who was largely based on Bailey. As well as fashion photography, Bailey has been responsible for record album sleeve art, for performers including The Rolling Stones and Marianne Faithfull. He has.
The Olsen twins - The Olsen twins The Olsen twins (born June 13, 1986) are American actresses named Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who have appeared in television and films since the age of 3 months. Despite their near-identical looks, the pair are actually fraternal (non-identical) twins (as is evident with their height difference). They started their acting careers on the television series Full House. The show was widely popular during the late 80s and early 90s, and both sisters played one character, Michelle Tanner, taking turns during the recordings to do so, in order to comply with child labor laws regarding children film workers. Rather than disappearing from the scene after growing up, as have many other child stars, Mary Kate and Ashley took a short period off and then came.
Kaokor Galaxy - July 1986. He held that crown until May 9, 1988, when he upset Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vasquez to take the WBA world bantamweight title. With the victory, the Galaxy brothers became the first twins to ever be world champions. Kaokor lost the title three months later, when an accidental headbutt called a halt to his first defense, against Korean Sung-Kil Moon after just six rounds. By rule, the fight went to the scorecards and Galaxy was behind on points. He bounced back with five straight wins to earn a rematch with Moon on July 9, 1989. This time, Kaokor Galaxy won easily, taking all 12 rounds on two scorecards and 11 of the 12 on the third. He again lost the title in his first defense, three months later against Luisito.
Kath Soucie - a voice actor, perhaps best known as the voice of the twins Phil & Lil in the animated series Rugrats. She also provided her vocal talents in the SatAM version of the Sonic the Hedgehog TV series as the voice of Princess Sally, a role which bears significance because Soucie played Sally with her natural voice rather than using a "trick voice" or "false voice" like she did when voicing Phil & Lil..
Kenneth Clark - had three children: Alan Clark was born 1928 and became a Conservative MP, while twins Collete and Colin were born in 1932. Works: Another Part of the Wood (1974) Civilisation (1969) Landscape into Art (1949) Leonardo da Vinci (1939) The Nude (1956) The Other Half (1977) Rembrandt and the Italian Renaissance (1966) See also: Kenneth Clarke.
Kenny Rogers - has played for the Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, New York Mets, and most recently for the Minnesota Twins. Rogers became the fourteenth major leaguer to pitch a perfect game on July 28, 1994 with the Rangers against the California Angels. Rogers has also won several Gold Glove awards..

Khaosai Galaxy - only once outside the Orient, when he defended against unbeaten (and future WBA bantamweight titleholder) Israel Contreras in Curacao in 1986. He had two fights in Japan, both with the same man, one in Korea and one in Indonesia. The rest of his fights were in his native Thailand, where he often fought for purses in excess of $100,000 in front of huge crowds. That, and the fact that few top fighters were willing to challenge Galaxy anywhere, conspired to make him relatively unknown except to boxing aficionados. In 1988, his twin brother, fighting under the name Kaokor Galaxy, captured the WBA bantamweight title, making the Saenkham brothers the only twins to ever be world boxing champions. He fought for the last time on December 21, 1991 in Bangkok, beating Armando.
King Ottokar's Sceptre - few others unconscious. Puzzled, Tintin wanders around and notices a spring cannon in a toy store. He returns to the treasure room with Thomson & Thompson and a stick the size of the sceptre and shows them that the camera is really a spring cannon in disguise. Thomson & Thompson cross the river with Tintin and look for the scepter in the birch forest. It is found by the Bordurians, whom they follow. At the border, Tintin wrests the scepter from a Bordurian and takes a plane, which is shot down. He makes the rest of the journey by foot; Snowy runs in with the sceptre (which had fallen out of Tintin's pocket) just as King Muskar is about to abdicate. The king makes Tintin a knight of the Order of.
Kirby Puckett - second chance a year later, after catching the eye of scouts while playing recreational ball in Chicago. He moved on to Triton (ill.) College and was subsequently drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the first round of the 1982 baseball draft. At the time, Puckett was a slap hitter and outstanding defensive center fielder with almost no power. He used those skills to hit a whopping .382 in his first professional season, with Elizabethton (Tenn.) in 1982, and then rocketed to the major leagues in less than two years, earning promotion to the Twins on May 8, 1984. He was one of the league's best rookies in 1984, batting .296 and leading all American League center fielders in baserunner kills, with 16. He had a similar season in 1985, when he.
Kings of Sparta - unusual in that it had two kings simultaneously, coming from two separate lines. According to tradition, the two lines ((the Agiads and Eurypontids) descended from the twins Eurysthenes (the Agiads) and Procles the descendants of Heracles who supposedly conquered Sparta two generations after the Trojan War. Although there are lists of the earlier purported Kings of Sparta, there is little evidence for the existence of any kings before the mid 6th Century BC or so Agiad Kings Eurysthenes Agis I Echestratus Dorissus Agesilaus I Teleclus Alcmenes Polydorus Eurycrates Anaxander Eurycratides Leon Anaxandridas 560-520 BC Cleomenes I 520-490 BC. Leonidas I 490-480 BC. Pleistarchus 480- 459 BC Pleistoanax 459 - 409 BC Pausanias 409- 395 BC Agesipolis I 395 - 380 BC. Cleombrotus I 380- 371 BC. Agesipolis II 371 - 370.

Koala - Gum and Swamp Gum are favoured; Grey Gum and Tallowwood are important in the north, and the ubiquitous River Red Gum of the isolated seasonal swamps and watercourses that meander across the dry inland plains allows Koalas to exist in surprisingly arid areas. Female Koalas are solitary and occupy distinct home ranges that they rarely leave. In the more fertile areas, these ranges overlap; in areas where suitable food trees are scarce they tend to be larger and more exclusive. Males are not territorial, but do not tolerate one another, particularly not during the breeding season: dominant individuals attack subordinate ones, and most adult males carry scars on their face, ears and forearms as a result. Koalas are almost entirely arboreal. They do not make nests, simply sleep in a tree.
Koryaks - gather in groups of sixes or sevens, forming miniature states, in which the nominal chief has no predominating authority, but all are equal. The Koryaks are polygamous, earning their wives by working for their fathers-in-law. The women and children are treated well, and Koryak courtesy and hospitality are proverbial. The chief wedding ceremony is a forcible abduction of the bride. They kill the aged and infirm, in the belief that thus to save them from protracted sufferings is the highest proof of affection. The victims choose their mode of death, and young Koryaks practise the art of giving the fatal blow quickly and mercifully. Infanticide was formerly common, and one of twins was always sacrificed. They burn their dead. The prevailing religion is Shamanism; sacrifices are made to evil spirits, the.
Kristin Harmon - Harmon. She was married to actor and musician Ricky Nelson from 1963 to 1981. Their children include actress Tracy Nelson and the twins Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, who were members of the rock band Nelson.

Jacob's Mouse - rock bands to have gimmicks, but Jacob's Mouse had two - twins (Hugo and Jebb Boothby) on guitar and bass, and a singing drummer (Sam Marsh). They released four albums: No Fish Shop Parking (Blithering Idiot, 1992) I'm Scared (Wiiija, 1993) - cover photo by Joe Dilworth Wryly Smilers (EP/singles compilation on Wiiija, 1996) Rubber Room (Wiiija, 1995) Despite some critical acclaim, and a successful UK tour supporting Babes in Toyland and Trumans Water, they did not realise the success that other (US-based) grunge bands did. The band split up in 1995. Marsh went on to record a couple of singles with Machismo's..
Jackie Chan - in films like Battle Creek Brawl, Cannonball Run, Cannonball Run II and The Protector. While he did attain cult popularity in the US, his break into the mainstream was Rumble in the Bronx in 1995.

He also made a successful animated television series called Jackie Chan Adventures.
