Famous Uncompensated Book Cover Models

At left is a fascinating book about a Russian man whose brain was incapable of forgetting. Apparently the brain of the cover illustrator was incapable of thinking of a better photo to steal than one of JFK. (Don't believe me? Compare the similar photo at right -->)
Some illustrator from Eerdmans stole J. P. Donleavy's portrait from the back cover of The Ginger Man (at right).

You'll never convince me this isn't Steve McQueen.

Update (02nov01): ... but CMJ has introduced a doubt. He suggests it is not Steve McQueen all, but rather Patrick McGoohan. Perhaps someone out there can locate a likely Patrick McGoohan photo that might have served as the model for this illustration... HINT
