The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) strikes any person - young and old, the rich or poor, the widely known and esteemed and unknowns. The nameless victims who get infected go unnoticed, but celebrities who do, always get the world's attention. This is a list of the top 10 celebrities who are known to have or to have had the virus known as HIV, including those who have passed from physical life (whether from AIDS or another cause).

1) Rock Hudson - Iconic Hollywood leading man, the initial major American celebrity whose AIDS diagnosis was made public. Unquestionably, he was one of the most standard and well-known movie stars of his time. The public got a double shock when it was revealed he had AIDS and was gay. In 1985, Hudson passed away at the age of 59.

2)Freddie Mercury - Queen's lead singer noted for his vocal abilities and his charisma. His death led to The Mercury Phoenix Trust anti-AIDS charity and the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness. Died in 1991 at the age of 45 and was inducted into Rock and Roll's Hall of Fame in 2001.

3)Liberace - Flamboyant Las Vegas singer and piano player known for candelabras, lavish costumes, exotic cars and kitchy homes. In the '70s and 80s, Liberace was a major box office attraction in Las Vegas. In 1987, he passed from physical life due to complicatednesses from AIDS.

4)Arthur Ashe - one of the biggest tennis players of all time. Was the firstborn African-American to win a Grand Slam and he went on to gather three. Ashe transcended tennis to become a social activist who led public protests versus apartheid in South Africa; became infected with HIV by way of transfusion for the duration of heart surgery. This Tennis Hall of Famer passed from physical life in 1993 at the age of 49.

5) Isaac Asimov - widely known and esteemed science fiction writer and biochemist. Two of his works were turned into highly successful films - I, Robot and Bicentennial Man. Asimov, who was also popular for his science books, became infected by transfused blood for the duration of heart surgery.

6) Earvin "Magic" Johnson - One of the greatest NBA players of all time, Johnson is widely considered as the best point guard ever to play the game. Since publicly announcing he had been infected with the virus HIV, Johnson proceeds to be an advocate for HIV/AIDS preventative action and safe sex.

7)Greg Louganis - Olympic gold medalist in diving. Was the most outstanding novice athlete in 1984 and went on to win back-to-back Olympic golds in both the 3m and 10m diving events. Following the formal publi statement of his HIV status in 1995, Louganis was dropped by majority of his corporate sponsors. Since retiring from diving, Louganis has ventured into acting largely in off-Broadway plays.

8)Tommy Morrison - world champion boxer better known for his role as Tommy Gunn in Rocky V. In 1996 it was revealed he was HIV-positive which mechanically retired him from boxing as a competitor. Currently, he is carrying out or participate in a career in Mixed Martial Arts and is attempting to mount a comeback in boxing.

9)Ryan White - expelled from high school because of his infection which he got from contaminated blood for the duration of treatment. White, who was a hemophiliac, became a poster child for HIV/AIDS at a time when the public knew very little regarding the disease. White made some celebrity friends including Michael Jackson whose song "Gone Too Soon" was a tribute to the teenage AIDS victim. White passed from physical life in 1990 at a young age of 18.

10) Esteban De Jesus - a world lightweight champion boxer from Puerto Rico. Famous for his trilogy with Roberto Duran, "Vita" had a life full of controversy, difficultnesses and scandals. Sentenced to life in jail for murder, he became a preacher and started to turn his life around. De Jesus acquired HIV and succumbed to full-blown AIDS in 1989.

Excellent and Practical... but don't be fooled!
By A
This book is exceptional in its ability to communicate difficult concepts in a light and entertaining manner. It seems to me that those who gave this book low ratings seem to think that the book should have magically imparted its knowledge upon them with no effort on their part.

Indeed, although Gonick presents the details via cartoons, that does not change the fact that "Sigma" is still "Sigma", and if you don't understand exactly what "Sigma" represents before moving on to the next concept, then you will not understand the subsequent lessons.

ie. Just because cartoons tell the tale, it doesn't mean that you will breeze through this book as you might a comic book. The individual concepts must be read and reread and perhaps even contemplated in order to truly understand each one before moving on to the next concept. If you do not do this, then, of course, nothing will make sense.

This is a book of statistics, not miracles...thus work will still be necessary in order to absorb the basic concepts within it.

Nevertheless, this book is far clearer and much more fun to read than any other stat book I've opened before. Very highly recommended.

GREAT BOOK (covers probability theory painlessly & well)
By A
Probability theory (uncertainty, error estimates, confidence intervals, "p-values" and the like) take time to understand, and rigorous approaches fail to get the concepts across to the non-mathemetician.

Gonick & Woolcott's Cartoon Guide to Statistics gets the ideas across with a minimum of math, and a maximum of "common sense" & (dare I say it?) intuition. The reader get's a FEEL for Probability and Statistics without violating the rigorous underpinnings of statistical theory.

I've taught Statistics to undergrad and grad students, and have had to teach into stats to Grad Students in 7 week Summer short courses, and I required everybody to buy exactly the same statistics calculator (one of the TI models with a couple chapters devoted to the mechanics of "doing statistics"), Cliff Notes _Statistics_, Darryl Huff's _How_to_Lie_With_Statistics_ (a classic cartoon guide I read decades ago) and Gonick's _Cartoon_Guide_to_Statistics_.

The 4 paperbacks (including the book that comes with the TI calculator) complement each other very well.

If you want to learn Statistics, without the standard Sadistics, I recommend Cliff, Huff, T.I. & Gonick. Enjoy!

Excellent suppliment to dry statistics books
By Eric C
This book was included in the materials for a business statistics class at Anderson. Bogged down by the reading from the course book and study guide, I didn't even open the cartoon guide for weeks, thinking it was probably too dumbed down to be helpful. Was I ever wrong. Concepts that were very difficult to understand in the course book were elucidated by the excellent examples and explanations in this guide. Made reviewing general concepts for the final exam much easier as well.

This book won't help you much in the practical application of statistics (for that you need problem sets), but will certainly aid in understanding the general ideas behind the math.
