33. The Good, the Bad, and the Telephone

Another true crossover in the making, these four men lived at the same time (though admittedly at different ages). Arthur Conan Doyle was an author most known for inventing a detective named Sherlock Holmes. You might have heard of him. He, Thomas Edison (the inventor of the lightbulb), and John Philip Sousa were all born in the 1800s and lived until the early 1900s. Clint Eastwood is the real outlier here, as he was born in 1930.

This would be the same year Arthur Conan Doyle died, with Edison passing away a year later and Sousa the one after. Eastwood is still around today as an old man, famous for his portrayal in the Spaghetti Westerns of the 60s. Take a moment to let all that sink in.
