Go see the rare and unseen Haile Selassie here

Pictured Above: Rare, Selassie in 1939 in this photo by Margaret Bourke White | Selassie was deposed by a Soviet-backed military junta in 1974. He was imprisoned, his grandson was executed, and the imperial dynasty was ended after seven centuries.

Bud Spencer is also an inventor. One of his inventions:  a one-way tooth-brush with integrated toothpaste

Here, Bud, to the left, with the Italian swimming team at the Helsinki Olympics.

Spencer participated in the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland, reaching the semi-finals in the 100 m freestyle (58.8 s heats, 58.9 s semi final).[4] Four years later, in Melbourne, he also entered the semi-finals in the same category (58.5 s heat, 59.0 s semi final). As a water polo player, he won the Italian Championship in 1954, with S.S. Lazio. His swimming career ended abruptly in 1957.

Bud Spencer married Maria Amato in 1960, with whom he had three children: Giuseppe (1961), Christine (1962) and Diamante (1972). He changed his screen name in 1967 reportedly chosen to pay homage to Spencer Tracy as well as his favorite beer, Budweiser. Other sources report that he found it funny to call himself “bud” despite his weight and his height at 1.94 m.
