_Famous People Who Stutter_ written by Laura Doty
http://www.d.umn.edu/~cspiller/stutteringpage/famous.htm

<<Stuttering does not have to be a deterrent to success. There are
many famous and successful people throughout history who stuttered.
The history of famous stutterers can be traced back all the way to
biblical times. Moses is believed to have been a stutterer.
In Koran, 20:26-29 Moses said "Lord, open my breast, and do
Thou ease for me my task, Unloose the knot upon my tongue,
that they may understand my words." The analogy of
a knot upon his tongue refers to his stuttering.

Other famous stutterers from the ancient past are Demosthenes, Aesop,
Claudius, Balbus Blaesius, Aristotle, Isaac Newton, Charles Canon
Kingsley, Cotton Mather and Lewis Carroll. Demosthenes, the greatest
orator of ancient Greece worked very hard to improve his speaking
skills. He practiced speaking with pebbles in his mouth in an
attempt to improve his articulation and shouted above
the ocean waves to increase his voice volume.

Aesop, Greek author of fables, was a stutterer from infancy.
As a young adult the Goddess of Hospitality appeared to him
in a dream and gave him the gift of speech. He then became
the master storyteller he is remembered as.

The Roman emperor Claudius may have exaggerated his stuttering as a
young man to avoid being murdered by enemies seeking his place in
line to the throne. Balbus Blaesius is another Roman who stuttered
severely. He was an 'exhibit' in a 'freak show' which displayed
him locked in a cage. People would give him coins to stutter.
His last name, Blaesius, is now the Italian word for stuttering.

The famous philosopher Aristotle had an inaccurate conception
of the cause of stuttering. He thought it was caused
by a malfunctioning tongue.

Isaac Newton, the English scientist who developed the law of gravity,
asked that the windows of Parliament be closed so the public would not
hear his stuttering. Another famous English stutterer is Charles Canon
Kingsley. He was a nineteenth-century orator, writer and chaplain to
Queen Victoria. He had a rather unusual recommendation for treating
stuttering. His recommendation was to eat a 'manly' diet of beef
and beer.

Cotton Mather was an author, a leader of the Puritans, and a
prosecutor of the Salem witch trails. The first book he wrote was on
stuttering in America. Mr. Mather tried many methods to treat his
stuttering, some successful, speaking in a drawling or sing-sing
fashion, and some unsuccessful, such as fasting and prayers.

Famous stutterers from the more recent past include Marilyn Monroe,
Lord David Cecil, Aneurin Bevan and Winston Churchill. Marilyn
Monroe's signature breathy way of speaking may have been her way of
treating her stuttering. She seems to have been taught by a speech
coach to use exaggerated mouth movements and a breathy and affected
speaking style to control her stuttering.

Winston Churchill was considered the best orator in Parliament despite
the fact that he was a stutterer. He went to great lengths to hide and
avoid his stuttering. A great deal of preparation went into all his
speeches. Churchill wrote them out well in advance, often weeks, of
when he would have to give them. He memorized them forwards and
backwards so he could practice them. Before beginning to give a
speech, Churchill would hum discreetly to himself to get his vocal
folds vibrating.

Aneurin Bevan was a British Labor Party leader in the 1930's and an
opponent of Churchill in Parliament. Bevan was thought of as the best
orator in Parliament, second only to Churchill. Bevan made public
speeches as often as possible to help overcome his stuttering. He also
developed a remarkable vocabulary by substituting words to avoid
stuttering.

There are also several famous contemporary stutterers, many of whose
names are surprising such as actors Bruce Willis and James Earl Jones.
Other contemporary figures who stutter include: Greg Luganis, Olympic
diver; Lester Hayes, former Los Angeles Raider; John Updike, novelist;
Annie Glenn, wife of astronaut and Senator John Glenn; Carly Simon,
singer; Mel Tillis, country western singer; Jake Eberts, "Gandhi"
producer; Jack Welsh, President of GE; Bo Jackson, football and
baseball star; John Stossel, TV reporter for ABC's "20/20"; John
Menendez, rock singer; John Larkin, American jazz musician; and Bill
Walton, NBC Sports commentator.

The stories of James Earl Jones and John Larkin merit further
exposition. James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vadar in the Star
Wars movies and the voice of CNN, is the most in demand voice in
Hollywood. Although most people think of James Earl Jones as a
'former' stutterer, he still stutters rather noticeably when speaking
spontaneously. As an actor, he has developed situational fluency when
playing a role. (Many stutterers experience temporary fluency when
enacting a role.)

Recently James Earl Jones acted in a part which did not require him to
develop situational fluency. He portrayed a stutterer in the movie A
Family Thing. The character, Ray Murdoch, was not originally written
as a stutterer, it happened accidentally. Jones involuntarily
stuttered while reading his lines and the director, Dick Pearce, liked
it, feeling it conveyed the character's vulnerability. Jones agreed to
portray Ray Murdoch as a stutterer as long as it wouldn't be played to
make fun of the stutterer.

James Earl Jones almost did not portray Ray Murdoch as a stutterer.
Jones' agent was dead set against Jones portraying a stutterer because
he thought that if he voluntarily stuttered for a part he would have a
relapse that would destroy his career. Only after receiving advice
from fluency disorder specialists that voluntary stuttering is a good
thing and may even help Jones' real stuttering did his agent agree to
allow Jones to play Ray Murdoch as a stutterer.

John Larkin, a.k.a. " Scatman John", is an American singer, songwriter
and musician. "Scatman John" says that his signing, rapping and
scatting through positive, motivational lyrics are like therapy for
him. Through his music he would like to address the struggles of
stutterers the world over, as well as anyone else who must face other
kinds of challenges and disabilities.

There was a moment when "Scatman John" was ashamed of being
temporarily fluent. He was doing a series of twelve telephone
interviews about his album Scatman's world. In all the interviews,
"Scatman John" said basically the same thing. He talked about the
first single on his album, Scatman, which was written about
stuttering. He wrote the song to let the world know that he was a
stutterer so they would not be surprised when they heard him talk. By
the time he got the to last interview, he was saying the message from
memory. (Many stutterers experience temporary fluency when speaking
form memory.) So, he was talking about his stuttering while being
fluent. The interviewer accused him of using the stuttering community
as a gimmick to further his career. John Larkin was ashamed of his
fluency at that moment. He tried to explain to the interviewer about
temporary fluency but the interviewer was still skeptical when he hung
up.

All the people mentioned here did not let their stuttering stop them
from being successful. They are wonderful examples of the fact that a
stuttering problem does not have to be a hindrance to success.>>

<<An existing copy of the Latin 'fine' of May 4, 1597 assigns
to Shakspere a *MESSUAGE* with two barns and two gardens. William
Underhill, who lived part of the year at Idlicote, was a Catholic
recusant who appeared to Stephen BURman to be 'subtle, covetous,
and CRAFTY'. Two months after the sale, Underhill was killed
by his son Fulke, then a legal minor, to whom he had orally
bequeathed his lands. Underhill died at Fillongley near Coventry
on [*St. PROSPERO's DAY*] , 1597. As a result, New Place was
forfeited to the state for felony, and Fulke was hanged for murder
in 1599. The crime kept his right to the house insecure until
the victim's second son Hercules Underhill came of age in 1602.
In that year Hercules (who was born on June 6, 1581) secured
a clear grant of the estate and oconfirmed its sale
to the playwright.>> -- Park Honan

A Sonnet upon the Pitiful Burning of the Globe Playhouse in London
https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/html/1807/4350/poem65.html
.
Now sitt thee downe, Melpomene,
[W]rapt in a *SEA-COAL ROBE* ,
[A]nd tell the dolefull tragedie,
[T]hat late was playd at Globe;
For noe man that can singe and saye
But was scard on St. Peters Daye.
Oh sorrow, pittifull sorrow, and yett *ALL THIS IS TRUE* .
.
All yow that please to understand,
Come listen to my storye,
To see Death with his rakeing brand
Mongst such an auditorye;
Regarding neither Cardinalls might,
Nor yett the rugged face of Henry the Eight.
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
This fearfull fire beganne above,
A wonder *STRANGE AND TRUE*,
And to the stage-howse did remove,
As round as taylors clewe;
And burnt downe both beame and snagg,
And did not spare the silken flagg.
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
Out runne the knightes, out runne the lordes,
And there was great adoe;
Some lost their hattes and some their swordes;
Then out runne *BURbidge* too;
The reprobates, though druncke on Munday,
Prayd for the Foole and Henry Condye.
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
The perrywigges and drumme-heades frye,
Like to a butter firkin;
A woefull burneing did betide
To many a good buffe jerkin.
Then with swolne eyes, like druncken Flemminges,
Distressed stood *OLD STUTTERING HEMINGES* .
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
No shower his raine did there downe force
In all that Sunn-shine weather,
To save that great renowned howse;
Nor thou, O ale-howse, neither.
Had itt begunne belowe, sans doubte,
Their wives for feare had pissed itt out.
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
Bee warned, yow *stage STrUTTERS all* ,
Least yow againe be catched,
And such a burneing doe befall,
As to them whose howse was *THATCHED* ;
Forbeare your whoreing, breeding biles,
And laye up that expence for tiles.
Oh sorrow, &c.
.
Goe drawe yow a petition,
And doe yow not abhorr itt,
And gett, with low submission,
A licence to begg for itt
In churches, sans churchwardens checkes,
In Surrey and in Midlesex.
Oh sorrow, pittifull sorrow, and yett *ALL THIS IS TRUE* .
.
Notes
.
1] The Stationers Register (Arber, III, 528) licensed Edward White,
the day after the fire, to print "a doleful ballad of the general
ouerthrowe of the famous theater on the Banksyde called the Globe &c
by William Parrat." Another ballad was licensed to Simon Stafford that
day, "called the sodayne Burninge of the Globe on the Bankside in the
Play tyme on Saint Peters day last 1613", but it lacks the word
"doleful" in the title (see line 3). Perhaps, then, this poem is
written by William Parrat. E. K. Chambers, in The Elizabethan Stage
(1923), II, 420, note 3, identifies the early-17th-century manuscript
in which the poem appears as owned by Sir Mathew Wilson (Eshton Hall,
York) and sold to G. D. Smith in New York.
The Globe, most famous of the Elizabethan playhouses, was burned on
June 29, 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII -- also entitled All
is True, the refrain ironically used by the poet here. See lines
12-13.

Melpomene: the muse of tragedy.

2] *SEA-COAL* : used in the 16th and 17th centuries for
mineral coal as distinguished from charcoal, usually called coal.

11] auditorye: audience.

12] An allusion to Cardinal Wolsey, a character in Henry VIII.

18] clew: ball of thread.

19] snagg: sharp, projecting piece of wood.

25] Burbage: Richard Burbage, a sharer in the Globe and actor
of chief parts in the plays of Shakespeare, Jonson, and others;
especiallyfamous for certain tragic roles.

27] Condye: Henry Condell, also a sharer in the Globe
and famous actor; with John Heminge, edited the
first folio of Shakespeare's plays, 1623.

29] perrywigges and drumme-heades: (costume) wigs and drum-membranes.

30] butter firkin: small keg of butter.

32] buffe jerkin: leather jacket without sleeves.

34] Hemings: John Heminge, also a sharer in the Globe.

36] The first editor of this poem in Representative Poetry,
N. J. Endicott, removed this stanza.

46] thatched: in one of his letters Sir Henry Wotton says
it was the paper or entrance of Henry VIII that started the fire.

50-56] An ironic reference to the fact that the playhouses
were in ill repute with the church and city authorities.

fuel was dried dung of animals and wood charcoal. Two different
words are found in Hebrew to denote coal, both occurring in

is to burning coal [Heb. gehalim]." The latter of these words
is used in Job 41:21; Prov. 6:28; Isa. 44:19. The words

full of its tormented flaming life; and I have seen it wane at last,
down, down, to dumbest dust. Old man of oceans! of all this fiery life
of thine, what will at length remain but one little heap of ashes!"
"Aye," cried Stubb, "but *SEA-COALL* ashes- mind ye that, Mr.
Starbuck-
sea-coal, not your common charcoal." >>

<<Then standing as if incredulous for a while, he calmly walked
towards the astonished steward slowly saying, "Ginger? ginger? and
will you have the goodness to tell me, Mr. Dough-Boy, where lies the
virtue of ginger? Ginger! is ginger the sort of fuel you use,
Dough-boy, to kindle a fire in this shivering cannibal? Ginger!-
what the devil is ginger?- *SEA-COALL*? firewood?- lucifer matches?-
tinder?- gunpowder?- what the devil is ginger, I say, that you offer

ISAIAH 6:5 Then said I, WOE IS ME! for I am undone; because I am a
man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Then flew
one of the seraphims unto me, having a live COAL in his hand, which
he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon
my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine
iniquity is taken away, and thy sin PURGED. Also I heard the voice
of the Lord, saying,

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I;
send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed,

BUT *UNDERSTAND NOT* ; and see ye indeed, BUT *PERCEIVE NOT* .

<<John Heminges had several investments going
on in addition to his acting, including real estate and
a lucrative position as one of the *SEACOAL Meters* of London.
Henry Condell married into money at the age of 20, receiving
a huge chunk of real estate from his father-in-law which made
him pretty much set for life. (After his death, his widow
sold this property for 1450 pounds, equivalent to around
1.5 million dollars in current American money.)
.
John Heminges be.came a freeman of the Grocers'
Company in 1587, a status which made him a
citizen of London and gave him quite a few
advantages over non-citizens. In addition to
his shares in the Globe, Blackfriars, and King's
Men, Heminges owned several houses in London,
one of which he bought from Thomas Savage
for 90 pounds in 1605 and mortgaged back to
Savage three years later. Heminges also bought
a house from Savage's son after Savage's death
in 1611. From 1608 to 1626, Heminges was a
*SEACOAL Meter* of London, a position which was
appointed by the Lord Mayor and generated a
considerable income. (Only freemen of the
city were eligible to be *SEACOAL Meters*.)
Thomas Savage was also a fellow *SEACOAL Meter*
(as well as a trustee of the Globe playhouse),
and Heminges' deputy as *SEACOAL Meter* was John
Jackson, who along with Heminges was a witness to
Shakespeare's purchase of the Blackfriars gatehouse.

<<The Dodo is a fictional character appearing in Chapters 2 & 3 of the
book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson). The Dodo is a caricature of the author. A popular
belief is that Dodgson chose the particular animal to represent
himself because of his *STAMMER* , and thus would accidentally
introduce himself as "Do-Do-Dodgson." In this passage Lewis Carroll
incorporated references to everyone present on the original boating
expedition of July 4, 1862 during which Alice's Adventures were first
told, with Alice as herself, and the others represented by birds: the
Lory was Lorina Liddell, the Eaglet was Edith Liddell, the Dodo was
Dodgson, and the Duck was Rev. Robinson Duckworth. In order to get dry
after a swim, the Dodo proposes that everyone run a Caucus race —
where the participants run in patterns of any shape, starting and
leaving off whenever they like, so that everyone wins. At the end of
the race, Alice distributes comfits from her pocket to all as prizes.
However this leaves no prize for herself. The Dodo inquires what else
she has in her pocket. As she has only a thimble, the Dodo requests it
from her and then awards it to Alice as her prize.>>

<<Now Sancho, seeing him without his former deformity,
said to him, 'and your nose ? ' To which he answered,
'Here it is in my pocket ' ; and, putting his hand
to his right side, he pulled out a pasted nose and
a varnished vizard, of the manufacture described.
And Sancho, more and more beholding him, with a loud
and admiring voice said, 'Saint Mary defend me ! and
is not this *Thomas CECIaL* my neighbour and my gossip?'
'And how say you by that ? ' quoth the unnosed squire.
' *Thomas CECIaL* I am, gossip and friend Sancho,

.
<< *Thomas CECIL* , 1st Earl of Exeter, KG (May 5, 1542 – February 8,
1623), known as Lord Burghley from 1598 to 1605, was an English
politician and soldier. Exeter was the eldest son of William Cecil,
1st Baron Burghley, and the half-brother of Robert Cecil. He served in
government under Elizabeth I of England, first serving in the House of
Commons in 1563 and representing various constituencies for most of
the time from then until 1593. He was knighted in 1575. His father's
death in 1598 brought him a seat in the House of Lords, the 2nd Lord
Burghley, as he then was, served from 1599 to 1603 as Lord Lieutenant
of Yorkshire and Lord President of the Council of the North. It was
during this period that Queen Elizabeth made him a Knight of the
Garter in 1601. He was created Earl of Exeter on May 4, 1605, the same
day his half-brother Robert Cecil, 1st Viscount Cranborne was created
1st Earl of Salisbury. Unlike his brother, however, he did not become
a Government minister under James I. The Cecil family fostered arts;
they supported musicians such as William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons and
Thomas Robinson. The latter, in his youth, was in the service of
Thomas Cecil. Thomas Cecil married Dorothy Neville, the daughter of
John Neville, 4th Baron Latimer by his wife Lucy Somerset daughter of
Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester. Lord Exeter is buried in a tomb
in the warrior chapel at St Mary's church in Wimbledon village.

By his wife, Thomas Cecil had eleven children:

* William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Exeter
* Catherine Cecil
* Lucy Cecil, married William Paulet, 4th Marquess of Winchester
* Mildred Cecil
* Sir Richard Cecil of Wakerley
* Edward Cecil, Viscount Wimbleton
* Mary Cecil married Edward Denny, 1st Earl of Norwich

Thomas Shelton's Don Quixote, Part 1.
The Fourth Book: I. Wherein Is Discoursed the New and Pleasant
Adventure That Happened to the Curate and the Barber in Sierra Morena

<<MOST happy and fortunate were those times wherein the thrice
audacious and bold knight, Don Quixote of the Mancha, was bestowed on
the world, by whose most honourable resolution to revive and renew in
it the already worn-out and well-night deceased exercise of arms, we
joy in this our so niggard and *SCANT an age* of all pastimes, not
only the sweetness of his *TRUE HISTORY* , but also of the other tales
and digressions contained therein, which are in some respects no less
pleasing, artificial, and *TRUE than the VERy history* itself; the
which, prosecuting the carded, spun, and self-twined thread of the
relation, says that, as the curate began to bethink himself upon
some answer that might both comfort and animate *CARDENIO* ,
he was hindered by a voice which came to his hearing,
said VERy dolefully the words ensuing: ‘O God!
is it possible that I have yet found out the place which may sERVE
for a hidden sepulchre to the load of this loathsome body that I
unwillingly bear so long? Yes, it may be, if the solitariness of these
rocks do not illude me. Ah, unfortunate that I am! how much more
grateful companions will these crags and thickets prove to my designs,
by affording me leisure to communicate my mishaps to Heaven with
plaints, than that of any mortal man living, since there is none upon
earth from whom may be expected counsel in doubts, ease in complaints,
or in harms remedy?’ The curate and his companions heard and
understood all the words clearly, and forasmuch as they conjectured
(as indeed it was) that those plaints were *DEliVERED VERy* near unto
them, they did all arise to search out the plaintiff; and, having gone
some twenty steps thence, they beheld a young youth behind a rock,
sitting *under an ASH-tree* , and attired like a country *SWAiN* >>
