Huey Long -- Louisiana legend -- Louisiana Governor, US Senator from Louisiana, and US Presidential hopeful before his assassination in the Louisiana Capital building that he built (at the time the tallest skyscraper in the South, still the largest capital building in the United States of America). Hollywood made two major movies about him (last one in 2006), two Pulitzer Prize-winning books were written about him, and two made-for-TV movies were made about him. And the guy was a huge LSU football fan. Statue of Huey Long in front of Louisiana Capital in Baton Rouge
