Before Alfred Hitchcock became a movie director, he was an estimator for a telegraph company. Before Dwight Eisenhower became commander-in-chief, he was an average student at Abilene High. And before Marilyn Monroe became a movie icon, she was an assembly-line worker. A voiceover treats us to these fun facts as old film clips of the three notables appear on screen. So far, so good. Unfortunately, the voiceover then draws a conclusion from these biographical tidbits: “Everyone has the potential to make history.”
