Best "Late Bloomer" Stories

2 replies
Warriors,

I heard today from a friend that Morgan Freeman didn't get his breakout role until age 52.

I've heard the old one about Colonel Sanders being 66 and Ray Kroc not hitting it big until late in life.

But what are the other good "late bloomer" stories out there that you know of....
