Marilyn Manson comes to mind, but I'm guessing that's not quite the same :).

In any case, Scientific American has a short but good "Ask the Experts"
response on so-called heterochromia iridium:
picID=12
A bit more technical but referenced and linked description can be found on
the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) compendium:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=142500

Lastly the madsci.org archives have some detailed Q&A descriptions of
heterochromia, the search engine is a good place to start (search:
"heterochromia" produces several relevant threads):
http://www.madsci.org/MS_search.html

Hope this is helpful to you.
