Mr. T – American Icon/Muhammad Ali’s Bodyguard
[Public Domain]Laurence Tureaud, most commonly known as Mr. T, began his career as a bouncer in the late 1970s. It was during this time when he decided to don the iconic gold neck chains and other jewelry. (Funnily enough, the jewels he wore were often items customers lost or left behind.) He took his Mr. T persona on to his bodyguarding career, which lasted almost a decade. As his fame and reputation grew, Mr. T went on to become the bodyguard of many famous individuals, including Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson, and Steve McQueen.
