In November 2010, worldwide movie audiences were presented with a most interesting and unusual movie release with The King's Speech, starring Colin Firth as King George VI and Helena Bonham Carter as his wife Elizabeth.

Byron Pitts

Byron Pitts has brought much attention to stuttering with his memoir, Step Out on Nothing: How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life's Challenges, released in September, 2009.
