You've got him BG over to you for a pic. His death was a sad loss and his killers have been released early.

Victor Peter Chang, AC (born Chang Yam Him; 21 November 1936  4 July 1991), was an Australian cardiac surgeon and a pioneer of modern heart transplantation. After completing his medical studies at the University of Sydney and working in St Vincent's Hospital, he trained in the United Kingdom and the United States as a surgeon before returning to Australia. In St Vincent's Hospital, he helped establish the National Cardiac Transplant Unit, the country's leading centre for heart and lung transplants. Chang's team had a high success rate in performing heart transplantations and he pioneered the development of an artificial heart valve.[1]

In 1986, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia for his "service to international relations between Australia and China and to medical science". In 1991, Chang died after being shot in a failed extortion attempt against him. His legacy includes the creation of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, being voted Australian of the Century at the People's Choice Awards, and the establishment of the Victor Chang Lowy Packer Building at St Vincent's Hospita

Early life and education

Chang was born in Shanghai to Australian-born Chinese parents. He grew up in Hong Kong, where he attended primary school in Kowloon Tong and spent two years in St. Paul's College.[2] Chang's father Aubrey sent him and his younger sister to Sydney, Australia, in 1951 to stay with extended family. Chang attended Belmore Boys' High School in Belmore and completed his secondary education at Christian Brothers' High School in Lewisham. On 7 April 1948, Chang's mother died from breast cancer at the age of 33, prompting him to consider a career in medicine at the age of 12.[3] He undertook his tertiary education at the University of Sydney, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Medical Science with First-Class Honours and a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery in 1962.

I think the eyes give it away Sheba. She is certainly a stunner! Mr B. was a lucky man.

I am not in a position to post a photo at the moment so I will let someone else answer.

I can't believe this.  Been trying to delete her, as I thought you might think I was having a go at you all.  Can't believe no one has named her yet.  She was the subject very recently.

Sorry DMaxer.  Just went back and saw your last post.    You can always answer, and ask some-one else to post.  That way, we don't hold things up too long, or are you waiting to see if Sandy can get it ?   biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

That was a quick game Sheba, you've got her over to you for a pic.

Ernestine Jane Geraldine Russell (June 21, 1921 February 28, 2011) was an American film actress and one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s.

Russell moved from the Midwestern United States to California, where she had her first film role in Howard Hughes' The Outlaw (1943). In 1947, Russell delved into music before returning to films. After starring in several films in the 1950s, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), Russell again returned to music while completing several other films in the 1960s. She starred in more than 20 films throughout her career.

Russell married three times, adopted three children, and in 1955 founded Waif, the first international adoption program. She received several accolades for her achievements in films, including having her hand and footprints immortalized in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dame Helen Lydia Mirren, DBE is an English actor. Excelling on stage with the National Youth Theatre, her performance as Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra in 1965 saw her invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company before she made her West End stage debut in 1975.

She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for the same role in The Audience, and has won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie four times.

I have been searching for early Australian politicians because I knew he was a politician I'd seen him before. The way I found him was to find out what the name of those glasses was and they are called Pince-nez which is French for pinch nose so I've learnt something I just have to retain it biggrinbiggrinbiggrinTheodore Roosevelt Jr.
