Time Is Cruel: You Won’t Even Recognize These Famous Faces

Bruce Jenner, Athletic Star

Bruce Jenner won the 1976 Olympic Gold Medal for the decathlon. He had begun his career as a college football star and was playing for the Graceland Yellowjackets before an injury put a halt to football.

He attended the Montreal Summer Olympics after being persuaded by Coach L D Weldon to try the decathlon instead of football. He set three world records on his path to gold and glory and was considered to be the “world’s greatest athlete.” From then on Jenner was a media darling as he attempted to capitalize on his Olympic fame. Most famously he appeared as the long-time spokesman for the iconic Wheaties brand of breakfast cereal.
