600 new names for book of fame
2002
Overview
Stella McCartney, David Beckham and serial murderer Harold Shipman meet for the first time in the controversial new edition of one of the world's oldest reference books. Footballer David Beckham - writing his second autobiography at 27 - is inserted between an 18th century English art collector and a German chemist. His 17 lines greatly outnumber those in the entry of another newcomer, Tory party leader, Iain Duncan Smith. Victoria Beckham, however, must make do with a small collective entry on her band, the Spice Girls. The ephemeral world of entertainment accounts for the most new entries, including Kylie Minogue, Nicole Kidman, George Clooney and Russell Crowe. New British actors include Jim Broadbent, who won an Oscar for his role in Iris, although no reference to the award or the film is included. Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle and Jane Horrocks - who entered Who's Who in 2000 - all feature.
