For some reason I decided to google "Famous English Majors."
Harrison Ford and Paul Newman and Mario Cuomo and Giamatti, the Baseball Commissioner, and Michael Eisner, the Disney CEO, and Don Henley -- just gotta love those "Dirty Laundry" lyrics. -- I should have known he was an English major. And some coaches. (I don't know anything about sports though so I did not recognize their names.) And a whole bunch more. Some might surprise you a lot. Some not.
Here is the link I found....
