Heather Mills

Heather Mills is one of those figures who got almost entirely defined by her high-profile divorce from Paul McCartney, which is a real shame because her story before that is genuinely remarkable. She lost her left leg below the knee after being struck by a police motorcycle in London in 1993, and rather than retreating from public life she kept modeling with a prosthetic limb, then threw herself into landmine awareness campaigning and animal rights advocacy with the kind of relentless energy that would exhaust most people. I think she's more interesting as a self-made survivor and activist than tabloids ever gave her credit for — the honorary doctorate in 2003 was a nod to that serious side. She's polarizing, no question, but the raw determination it takes to rebuild a public life after that kind of physical and personal upheaval deserves more than a footnote in someone else's story.
