Would you believe that neither Stan nor Ollie has a headshot?

Although all U.S. Presidents since Grover Cleveland have entries, only Eisenhower, Kennedy, Clinton, and – most obviously – Reagan join the current Chief Executive in having photos available. Among other more-or-less recent world leaders featured but not depicted are Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill, Yasser Arafat, Mikhail Gorbachev, Mao Tse-tung, and Karol Wojtyla (although the last-named does get a couple of movie posters relevant to his alternate billing as Pope John Paul II). Although Princess Grace gets a head shot, Princess Diana doesn’t.
