The Natural was a 1984 movie based on the 1952 novel by Bernard Malamud about a naturally talented baseball player named Roy Hobbs.  The movie starred many famous actors including Robert Redford, Robert Duvall and Glenn Close. The movie was nominated for four Academy Awards. 

Many drugs originate from natural products including acetylsalicylic acid, which comes from the bark of the white willow tree.  The German multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology firm known as Bayer AG was the first to launch acetylsalicylic acid in 1899 as their trademark product known as Aspirin. Bayer is still famous for aspirin today.
