A life well lived.

Who has the best and most varied life story?
I commend James Robertson Justice to the house.
Scotsman, journalist, salesman, teacher, lumberjack, goldminer, deckhand, hockey goaltender, rugby player, Saarland policeman, racing driver, International Brigader, naval officer, actor, polyglot and rector of Edinburgh University.
I accept that some of the earlier events are only vouched for by him, and he was a known raconteur, but by any standards that is a life well lived.
Can anyone beat that?
Edit to fix link and add "polyglot".
