Default Famous People with SA??

Does anyone know of any famous people with SA? I think one of the member of Likin Park has or most likely HAD it. Or maybe one of them knows someone with it. I only say this because, listen to their lyrics. Aren't almost ALL of their songs about SA? Dont they apply to most of you? I know they certainly do to me.

Well, a ton of actors and singers are shy or have stage fright!

Paula Dean from the Food Network used to be agoraphobic. They said she wouldn't leave her house at all at one point. Now she's all bouncy and cheerful and outgoing. You'd never have thought she had a fear of people or leaving home. And she's made a lot of money too.

I'm pretty sure Donny Osmond had quite severe Social Phobia. I recall him talking about it in an interview. I'm currently reading his autobiography but I haven't got to that bit yet! When I do I will come back, edit this post, and confirm or deny what I have just said!

Since I learned about SA, I suspected Steve Clark (late guitarist of Def Leppard) to have suffered greatly from it.
I don't know if there was ever a diagnosis though.

Abe Lincoln is supposed to have had SA and depression...Imagine the weight on that man's shoulders. Amazing all that he did
