Default Good biographies?

I think reading about the lives of very successful people is a great experience. Does anyone have one they'd recommend?

Ingrid Bergmans My Story is a classic book, really good story and real good human being, she is among my all time favourites...

I second Ben Franklins, and Richard Bransons. And for the darkworker out there perhaps Arnold Scharzenegger's.

Steve Jobs: The Journey is the Reward

There's so many great stories in it, like how he went to India when he was 19 and was blessed by a guru and nearly drowned in a flash flood. Then he came back and co-founded Apple Computer. And he dated Joan Baez.
