Martha Stewart

It seems like a bad joke now, but the queen of cookbooks really did serve five months in prison for a laundry list of charges. Stewart was convicted of insider trading and obstructing the investigation into her case. While she admits a story like hers "can ruin you," Stewart says her "health" and "optimism" helped her bounce back. She also credits the prison's chicken wings, which were the only thing she could stand to eat behind bars.
