I think Will Rogers was universally beloved. Lindberg, Earheart? Jackie Robinson? Babe Ruth? Their fields could be almost anything from sports to politics to entertainers. Babe Dedrickson, the best female athlete of all time! Bruce Jenner once upon a time in a different life. Lance Armstrong? Once upon a time before doping scandals enveloped him. O.J. Simpson before, well you know when the "before" was. If you dig deep enough will all heroes have feet of clay?
