The Intriguing Passports of 20 Famous Artists and Writers

Like business cards, passports can say a lot about a person — where they’ve been, where they’re going, and well, how photogenic they are under the worst conditions. This week, we caught a glimpse of René Magritte’s passport (and pipe) over at Fuck yeah, manuscripts!, and so as dyed in the wool collectors of the pop culture ephemera, we decided to check out the legal papers of a few more of our favorite artists, from Virginia Woolf to Walt Disney. Check them out after the jump, and then go count your passport stamps.

So Alice Cooper's passport has his name as Alice Cooper, not Vincent Furnier?

 UrsaMal wikipedia says he legally changed his name in 1975 so yes a passport from 1997 would have that name.

Wait. Isn't that Bowie passport pic the same one used in "The Man Who Fell to Earth?" by Thomas Jerome Newton? (Yes I am a Bowie nerd)
