...Misbegotten. "I just had to stand up straight." Houseman, who won a 1973 Academy Award for his supporting role in The Paper Chase, learned to smoke cigars for his portrayal of Churchill and then picked up some of Winnie's other mannerisms as well. "By Potsdam, he stooped a lot," observed the Rumanian-born actor, who attended England's Clifton College. "So I stoop a lot." Ferrer meanwhile discovered that Stalin had a partially crippled left arm, which he held shorter than his right. As Stalin did, so did Ferrer, and the re-creation of the famous...

Most anthropologists have been convinced that the first member of the genus Homo, or true man (as opposed to the hominids, or man-apes), was a beetle-browed, stoop-shouldered brute called Homo erectus, who appeared in Africa about a million or so years ago. But two years ago, Richard Leakey, following in the footsteps of his famed anthropologist father, the late Louis B. Leakey, undermined that theory. Digging near Kenya's Lake Rudolf, he uncovered fragments that were assembled into a nearly...
