Famous People With Psoriasis

Thanks to a comment on another post in which some famous people were pointed out to me as having psoriasis. I just had to look up these P sufferers (for want of a better word) and list them here. It's kind of nice to know that we aren't alone in all of this - not that we were really alone but it's still nice to know that celebrities aren't immune. Gosh that sounds bad but I don't mean it that way. Perhaps they could use this to make the general public more aware of P and how it affects us & that it isn't contagious, etc.

Anyway here's a list of celebrities (past and present) who have P ~~

  • Jason Donovan ~ an Australian actor and singer
  • Benjamin Elton ~ an English comedian, writer and director
  • Arthur Garfunkel ~ American singer-songwriter (part of the Simon & Garfunkel duo) and actor
  • Robert I, King of Scots
  • Paul Ferris ~ businessman, author & former gangster
  • Marcus Dell Gastineau ~ former American football player
  • CariDee English ~ an American fashion model
  • Thomas Waits ~ an American singer-songwriter, composer and actor
  • Shawn Lane ~ an American musician
  • Jerry Mathers ~ an American television, film and stage actor (from Leave it to Beaver)
  • Dennis Potter ~ a controversial English dramatist, best known for The Singing Detective
  • Joseph Stalin ~ General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee
  • Kenneth Starr ~ an American lawyer and former judge
  • John Updike ~ an American novelist, poet, short story writer and literary critic
  • Vladimir Nabokov ~ a Russian novelist, professor and lepidopterist
