American recording artist Michael Jackson (Aug 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009) poses with South African president Nelson Mandela (July 18, 1918 - December 5, 2013) in May 25, 2002. Heroic in his deeds, graceful in his manner, sainted in his image, Nelson Mandela long served as both cause and muse in the entertainment community. From the 1960s, when he was a political prisoner and South Africa was under the laws of apartheid, right up to recent times, when the racist laws of the land had fallen and he was among the world's most admired people, Mandela inspired concerts, songs, poems, fiction and movies.[Photo/Icpress]
