In one scene, the 6'10" Mane plays the role as a downcast, sweet, Frankensteiny kind of a villain, exploited by the medical professionals treating him. (Evidently the evil icon gets his murderous mojo back later in the film). This Myers is also shrouded in hair, another Zombie signature.

When Wachovia launches its mobile-banking service later this year, on the other hand, its icon will get prominent placement on AT&T branded phones...
Although Bill Gates has long been Harvard’s most famous dropout—a legendary entrepreneur, the world’s richest man, and an icon of the computer age—it is appropriate that he is only returning to Harvard to take an honorary degree now that he is also known as the world’s most generous philanthropist. We applaud Harvard for recognizing his contribution to society and welcome Gates back to Cambridge to deliver the keynote address at commencement...
