Who is your Iconoclast? Posted on Dec 3 2006 at 7:40am by Angeline Jolie. She's gone from bad-girl & weird to Good Will Ambassador. And she flies her own plane! Becoming a Mother brought out the good in her & she has truly turned her life around and has done so much for countries in need. Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she appears to be beautiful on the inside as well.

I think that on this forum (or topic) you should declare not only who is an iconoclast (1 person) but also share who you would like them paired with for their discussion.
As for Angeline Jolie, my fantasy pick would be another beauty turned Good Will Ambassador - Audrey Hepburn. Since that is not possible obviously... I would have to pick someone who has been crucial in adopting something not of their culture, after having great success in their own country, and turning it to something unique.
Not sure who asked the question: "who is your Iconoclast?" but my response is to alway recommend pairs of people and reasons and it may not always be names.
I thought of one this evening:
A top climber of Everest - true climber, not writer of climbing and a top wall street executive. I think it could be an interesting exploration of DRIVE and perhaps reflect for both parties why wealthy executives go after physical challenge yet many climbers seek a certain insatiable drive to earn the rewards beyond people's imagination. It is a question of Drive, but also of Satisfaction. I think I would enjoy watching such a feature in the hands of Iconoclasts capable staff.
RE: Who is your Iconoclast? Posted on Nov 23 2007 at 7:34pm by Marlon Brando, hands down. As I have said before, Marlon Brando was considered "radical" because of the positions he took on social issues. If his stands on social issues were "radical," then I would appreciate being so honorably labeled, myself. He was eccentric, yes. Reportedly, he could be difficult. But, he was an iconoclast if ever there was one and he was a good person with a good heart who believed in social justice and humanity. It also seemed he was lonely in life, despite the many people around him and the many who wished to be around him. He was well-loved, even though he may not have been completely convinced that he was worthy of such love.
I am hoping for an "Iconoclasts" episode on Marlon Brando. I think he is among the most intriguing "Iconoclasts" of all time.
