These are just a few of the most interesting items left behind in famous wills. Enjoy. 

Jack Benny – An actor and comedian of the earlier 20th century - Jack directed that a rose be delivered to his wife for the rest of her life.  His wife passed away almost 9 years later, which, to measure time in a different way, is more than 3000 roses.

Napoleon Bonaparte – Had his hair preserved and fashioned into small bracelets for friends and family.

Mark Gruenwald –  What: His ashes.  To Whom: Anyone who purchased the first printing of the Squadron Supreme trade paperback.  Gruenwald, a comic book writer and more, had his ashes mixed in with the ink for the compilation of the 12 issue run of Squadron Supreme.
