Liste bekannter Linkshänder aus Argentina
We check every entry - but we're not quite finished working through the list yet. You can recognize a verified entry because there is a separate paragraph about the person in question with our assessment of whether they are really a prominent left-hander.
Many people, often from creative professions or particularly intelligent representatives of their craft, appear to us to be ambidextrous because they have often had to deal with right-handed tools in their lives and have thus achieved a much higher level of practice with their weak hand than right-handers ever will reach on their left.
These cases are difficult to verify. It is also difficult to assess people who have died a long time ago.
We look at photos, videos and read biographies, interviews and background reports. We therefore ask for your indulgence if we do not already have an assessment for every celebrity. We're working on it!
