==Definition and guide== *A '''left-hander''' is a person who is more skillful with the left hand than with the right. A left-hander will probably (but is not required to) use the left hand for tasks such as personal care, cooking, and so on. * Writing with right hand alone ''does not'' necessarily indicate one's right-handedness. The world is right-handed-dominant, and many natural born left-handers were forced to write with their right hand. Consequently, a lot of born left-handers may write with their right hand but use the left for everything else. Further, some people write and draw left-handed, but have learned to use the right hand for other skilled tasks in order to accommodate tools designed for right-hand use. *However, if a person writes left-handed then s/he ''is'' most likely left-handed. *People who are forced to use their left hand because their right hand is not available for use (for example, due to injury or disease) should not be included on this list. *Contrary to popular belief, left-footers are not necessarily left-handed, which causes much confusion when it comes to famous soccer players. While many left-footed players like [[Arjen Robben]] are known to be left-handed, there is actually a high percentage of soccer players that are left-handed while being right-footed such as [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]]. ==Royalty and nobility== *[[Prince Carl Philip, Duke of Värmland]] *[[Charles, Prince of Wales]] - Writes right-handed [http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=52098681&cdi=0] *[[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]] - Writes right-handed [http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/ralph/ralimage/37queene.jpg] *[[George II of Great Britain]] *[[Naran Ganbaatar]] - King or Khan of Mongolia *[[George VI of the United Kingdom]] (was forced to use his right hand, which may have caused his pronounced stutter) *[[Victoria of the United Kingdom]] *[[Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington]] *[[Prince William of Wales]] [http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/newsandgallery/gallery/prince_william_visits_new_zealand_gallery_4_766700334_353383198.html] *[[Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia]] ==Political and governmental leaders== ===USA=== *[[Bill Bradley]] {{Fact|date=December 2006}} Writes with right hand.[http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=51619401&cdi=0] *[[George H.W.

Classical guitar is only played one way regardless of the handedness of the player, as is done throughout classical music. Orchestral instruments have uncommonly been played in a "left-handed" fashion by some entertainers, but this is virtually unheard of in the classical music world, and would be viewed as playing incorrectly if one were to attempt to undertake a classical audition playing an instrument with the hands reversed or the instrument altered. Left-handed drummers also have a variety of methods to play a [[drum kit]]: (1) simply play the standard right-handed way (e.g. [[Ringo Starr]], [[Travis Barker]]), (2) have the kit set up in the mirror image of a standard right handed kit, so the [[hi-hat]] is on the right, the [[ride cymbal]] is on the left, the [[snare drum]] is struck with the right stick, the [[tom-tom drum|tom-toms]] descend to the left, etc. (e.g. [[Rod Morgenstein]], [[Phil Collins]], or [[Ian Paice]]), or (3) [[open handed drumming|open handed drumming method]], which is to play a standard right-handed kit with a left-handed method, using the right stick for the snare and the left stick on the hi-hat and ride cymbals (typically, the ride cymbal's moved to the same side of the kit as the hi-hat) (e.g. [[Simon Phillips]], [[Carter Beauford]].) The third method has two distinct advantages: 1. Left-handedness does not inherently correlate with left-footedness, and the right-handed set up keeps the [[bass drum]] and hi-hat pedals on the correct sides; 2. Open handed drumming allows for a much higher, stronger and generally freer downstroke with both hands in the standard time-keeping arrangement (i.e., strong hand on the hi-hat and weak hand on the snare drum) than cross-sticking does. ===A-C=== *[[50 Cent]] *[[Blake Lewis]] *[[Jarkko Ahola]] ([[Teräsbetoni]]) *[[Damon Albarn]] - Plays guitar right handed. *[[Duane Allman]] - Played guitar right handed. *[[Gregg Allman]] - Plays guitar right-handed. *[[Bill Anderson (country music)|Bill Anderson]] *[[Michael Anthony]] - Plays guitar and bass right-handed. *[[Tom Araya]] ([[Slayer]]) - Plays bass right-handed. *[[Tim Armstrong]] ([[Rancid (band)|Rancid]]) *[[Kokomo Arnold]] *[[Reginald Arvizu|Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu]] ([[Korn|KoЯn]]) - Plays bass right-handed. *[[Asya]] ([[Smoosh]]) *[[Peter Baddoo]] Plays Saxophone and Piano.

For scenes requiring him to bat left-handed, Cooper wore a Yankee uniform with Gehrig's number 4 mirror-reversed on his back. Cooper batted the ball right-handed, then ran to third base (not first). The film was then optically reversed, turning Cooper into a southpaw. This same technique was used in Billy Crystal's film "61" to make Anthony Michael Hall appear left handed in his portrayal of left handed Yankee's pitcher Whitey Ford. In 1953, while starring in a live television drama, right-handed actor [[Jack Lemmon]] decided to play his character left-handed, purely as an actor's exercise. Two years later, when Lemmon met [[James Cagney]] for the first time, Cagney's first words to Lemmon were "Are you still pretending you're left-handed?" ==Film directors== *[[Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle|Roscoe Arbuckle]] - (Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle) *[[James Cameron]] *[[Charlie Chaplin]] *[[Spike Lee]] *[[Christopher Nolan]] *[[Danny Pang]] *[[Ridley Scott]] *[[Joss Whedon]] ==Athletes== ===American Football=== *[[Frankie Albert]] *[[Joseph Addai]] *[[David Akers]] *[[Terry Baker]] *[[Ronnie Brown]] *[[Mark Brunell]] *[[Tedy Bruschi]] - Writes left-handed *[[Brandon Cox]] *[[Phil Dawson]] - Kicks right-footed.

For hitters, the natural motion of swinging at a pitch gives a left-handed batter momentum running down the line to first. Left-handed batters typically also have a better view of the pitch thrown by a right-handed pitcher. Also, left-handers may have more room to hit if the first baseman is watching a runner on first, and some ball parks have short right-field fences, making it easier for left-handers to hit home runs. A left-handed batter runs a shorter distance to first base than a rightie, because he takes his stance in the batting box on the right side of home plate. Due to these advantages, some right-handed players will learn to hit left handed (these players are not considered left-handed.) Likewise, left-handed pitchers are valuable, in part because many left-handed sluggers have severe trouble hitting against left-handed pitchers. See [[left-handed specialist]].

As batsmen in cricket work in pairs, teams traditionally like to have a mix of right and left handers to maximise this effect. This is particularly so for [[Opener|opening batsmen]]. The same arguments, in reverse, apply to left-handed [[Bowler (cricket)|bowlers]]. Top quality left-handed bowlers seem to be rarer than their batting equivalents. *[[Wasim Akram]] *[[Geoff Allott]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Curtly Ambrose]] - Bowled right-handed, batted left-handed *[[Saeed Anwar]] *[[Michael Bevan]] *[[Allan Border]] *[[Nathan Bracken]] - Bowls left-handed, bats right-handed. *[[David Brain]] - Bowls left-handed, bats and throws right-handed. *[[Alistair Campbell]] *[[Michael Clarke (cricketer)|Michael Clarke]] - Bowls left-handed, bats right-handed. *[[Alan Davidson (cricketer)|Alan Davidson]] *[[Andre Dawson]] - Writes left-handed, but bats and throws right-handed. *[[John Edrich]] *[[Matthew Elliott]] *[[Stephen Fleming]]- Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Saurav Ganguly]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed. *[[Chris Gayle]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Adam Gilchrist]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed. *[[Ashley Giles]] - Bats right-handed, bowls left-handed. *[[David Gower]]- Batted left-handed, bowled right-handed *Sir [[Richard Hadlee]] - Batted left-handed, bowled right-handed. *[[Matthew Hayden]] - Bats left-handed, bowls and signs autographs right-handed. *[[George Hirst]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Brad Hogg]] *[[Chris Huartson]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed. *[[Michael Hussey]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed. *[[Inzamam-ul-Haq]] - Bats right-handed, throws left-handed *[[Phil Jaques]] *[[Sanath Jayasuriya]] *[[Mitchell Johnson]] *[[Ed Joyce]] *[[Brendon Julian]] - Bowls left-handed, bats right-handed. *[[Simon Katich]] *[[Lance Klusener]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Justin Langer]]- Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Brian Lara]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Maurice Leyland]] *[[Tony Lock]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Phil Mead]] *[[Dinesh Mongia]] *[[Shayne O'Connor]] *[[Monty Panesar]] *[[Bruce Reid]] *[[Wilfred Rhodes]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Kumar Sangakkara]]- Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Yuvraj Singh]] *[[Graeme Smith]] - Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *Sir [[Gary Sobers]] *[[Aamer Sohail]] *[[Andrew Strauss]] *[[Mark Taylor (cricketer)|Mark Taylor]] - Bats left handed, bowls right-handed. *[[Sachin Tendulkar]] - writes with left hand. *[[Marcus Trescothick]]- Bats left-handed, bowls right-handed *[[Derek Underwood]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Chaminda Vaas]] *[[Hedley Verity]] - Bowled left-handed, batted right-handed *[[Daniel Vettori]] *[[Johnny Wardle]] *[[Mike Whitney]] - Bowls left-handed, bats right-handed *[[Frank Woolley]] *Sir [[Frank Worrell]] - Batted right-handed, bowled left-handed, . ===Fencing=== Left handers hold a natural advantage at fencing as they effectively become mirror images of a right hander, allowing a left-handed fencer to use the normal en garde position whilst a right-hander often has to switch to the line of carte in order to close a basic line of attack for left-handers. *[[Cécile Argiolas]] *[[Christian d'Oriola]] *[[Laura Flessel-Colovic]] *[[Fabrice Gazin]] *[[Matthieu Gourdain]] *[[Fabrice Jeannet]] *[[Giuseppe Mangiarotti]] *[[Hugues Obry]] *[[Anne-Lise Touya]] *[[Casey P.

(''If you want to move the following people to other section in this list, please first consult the [[Talk:List of famous left-handed people|discussion page]] and provide appropriate source and reference. (e.g. biography, photograph, paintings, etc.)'') *[[Alexander the Great]] - Disputed. *[[Melissa Sue Anderson]] - Possibly ambidextrous. *[[Fatty Arbuckle]] - Ambidextrous; could throw two custard pies simultaneously, one with each hand, with unerring accuracy. *[[Robert Baden-Powell|Lord Baden-Powell]] - Ambidextrous. *[[Michael Angelo Batio]] - Claims he isn't Ambidextrous but has trained himself to play double guitar, however he is equally proficient in this style. In the following picture, he can be seen writing left-handed. [http://www.riff.no/magasin/artikler/bilder_intervju_mab/mab_fans.jpg] *[[Ludwig van Beethoven]] - Experts regard Beethoven being left-handed as a myth.[http://www.xs4all.nl/~ademu/Beethoven/#n12] Famous painting of Beethoven shows him right-handed.[http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~san/beethoven.jpg] *[[Billy the Kid]] - He is often cited as left-handed, and is identified as such in "The Left-Handed Gun", a teleplay (and later a screenplay) by [[Gore Vidal]]. The evidence usually invoked for this is a well-known photograph, in which Billy is holding his pistol in his left hand (the hand on the right, as seen by the viewer). However, the photograph is a "tintype", which mirror-reverses its image, thus Billy is actually holding the pistol in his right hand. *[[Julius Caesar]] - evidence from a biographic or photographic source is yet to be provided. *[[Bryan Callen]] - Ambidextrous. *[[Charlemagne]] {{Fact|date=December 2006}} Claimed by some individuals and websites[http://www.indiana.edu/~primate/left.html] to be left-handed, but verifiable sources to support such a claim have yet to be found. *[[Leonardo Da Vinci]] - Claimed by some he could write with his right hand and draw with his left. *[[Albert Einstein]] – Claimed by some individuals and websites to be left-handed,(little proof; started speaking late as a child and attended Catholic elementary school; supposed left hand suppression) but photos show him writing on a blackboard with his right hand; and also, playing violin with his right hand.

He once wrote an essay from the first-person viewpoint of the left hand, protesting that "she" was not treated with the same courtesy as her "sister" (the right hand). *[[Jay-Z]] - Has seen using both. Ambidextrous *[[James A. Garfield]] - Was able to write Latin and Greek simultaneously, with one pen in each hand, but was left-handed by preference. *[[Barry Gibb]] - Ambidextrous.[http://www.beegees-world.com/chat-jan26.html] *[[Jack the Ripper]] - Some doctors originally thought the wounds inflicted by this [[serial killer]] indicated a left-handed killer, though this theory assumed that he attacked from the front when he could have, as most authorities now believe, attacked from behind or from the side when the woman was already on the ground. *[[Gandhi]] - evidence from a biographic or photographic source is yet to be provided. *[[Joan of Arc]] – Has been described as left-handed on very slim evidence. The only known surviving image of her which dates from her lifetime depicts her raising a sword in her left hand. However, this portrait is a crude sketch, and it is virtually certain that the artist Clement de Fauquembergue had never seen her in person. We have no real evidence for Joan of Arc's left-handedness, and some circumstantial evidence against it. During the weeks of her imprisonment preceding her trial for heresy, she was watched intensively. If she had shown a preference for her left hand (the so-called "devil's hand"), this fact would almost certainly have been mentioned in the prosecution's testimony against her. *[[Helen Keller]] - Disputed. She has been included on lefthanded people list on websites such as this one [http://www.indiana.edu/~primate/left.html], but evidence from a biographic or photographic source has yet to be found. *[[R.
