On Colonel Sanders’ 120th Birthday, Survey Reveals Young Americans Unclear If KFC Founder Was Real Person

Leading up to Colonel Sanders' birthday, a student at the Kentucky School of Art sketches a portrait of Colonel lookalike Bob Thompson. In celebration of what would have been Sanders' 120th birthday, KFC is launching a national search for a painter to create a piece of art to hang beside one of the most enduring pieces of Colonel memorabilia - a portrait painted by Norman Rockwell in 1973.
