Elvis Presley, yes; Marilyn Monroe, no. Albert Einstein, yes; Al Capone, no. Babe Ruth, yes; Magic Johnson, no.

Life Magazine unveiled its list Friday of the 100 Most Influential Americans of the 20th century, and those among the missing are as interesting as those who made it.No Madonna, no Magic, no Michael Jordan. No Clark Gable. No Greta Garbo. No Al Jolson.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Not on this list. Not a single U.S. president - and there were 17 since 1900.

More than 60 historians and other experts were consulted by Life in making the list. Only three people received unanimous support, the magazine reported: the Wright Brothers and Henry Ford.

So who did make it?

Elvis, Albert and the Babe. Polio vaccine inventor Jonas Salk and infant care guru Dr. Benjamin Spock. The king of rock 'n' roll is joined by a half-dozen other musicians: Louis Armstrong, Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Bing Crosby, Bob Dylan and Richard Rodgers.

"It's a list of the most influential people of the past 100 years, not the famous," said Mary Steinbauer, editor of the special issue. "In making our selections we looked at how our lives would be different if each of our honorees didn't live."

Missing completely are the 17 presidents of the 20th century. "Every president is important to us - that's the nature of the job," said Steinbauer. One first lady made the list: Eleanor Roosevelt.

More than half of the list was born in the 19th century, and only 21 of the honorees are still living.

Marlon Brando was the lone actor to make the list; from the world of sports, Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Jackie Robinson joined the Bambino.

Activists-advocates was second to the sciences in producing honorees. Thirteen of them were cited, including civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Alcoholics Anonymous founder Bill W., and feminist Betty Friedan.

As a group, the 100 captured 11 Nobel Prizes, five Pulitzer Prizes and four Academy Awards. Twenty of them never graduated high school, including Walt Disney, William Faulkner, Jackson Pollock and Malcolm X.

Thirteen were born in a foreign country and later became U.S. citizens, such as choreographer George Balanchine (Russia) and scientist Wernher von Braun (Germany). New York was the state that produced the most honorees, 14, double that of runner-up Illinois.

The list also included Life's founder, Henry Luce. Life said the 100 were selected from a field of 636 people under consideration.
