Churchill, Sir Winston (Leonard Spencer) 1874 -- 1965British statesman, prime minister, and author. Born November 30, 1874, in Oxfordshire, England, the eldest1 son of Randolph Churchill. Winston Churchill is most notable for his parliamentary career, which spanned the reigns2 of six monarchs3, from Queen Victoria to her great-great-granddaughter, Elizabeth II. His early military service included hand-to-hand combat in the Sudan, and he lived to see the use of atomic weapons as a means to end World War II. He was most familiar as a diplomat4 in his homburg hat and bowtie flashing the V-for-Victory sign with his index and middle fingers; but he was also a weekend artisan, building garden walls at his home at Chartwell, as well as an accomplished5 painter. His paintings were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy, which held a one-man retrospective of his work in 1958.
