As a young man, preacher Jerry Falwell wanted to be an actor and attempted to start his career by doing impressions. His best impression was an apparently spot-on impression of Warren G. Harding. Falwell worked very hard on that one, studying old newsreels and descriptions of the President. Although his act was praised by the history professor of his local community college as being very accurate and having a "blisteringly funny take" on the Teapot Dome scandal no one else cared about Warren G. Harding. His one man show only attracted 2 paying attendees. He quit show business and went into religion, complaining that "The immorality of modern culture has rendered humanity insensible to true entertainment and respondent only to the lures of sex, drugs and violence." To this day, he leaves the room whenever Warren G. Harding is mentioned, in any context.
