List of 10 000 Famous People

#1

I was going through my old files on my computer when I came across a file I compiled of famous people.

I don’t know if I have shared this before here but for those people who are still trying to create your PAO, I hope you will find this list helpful.

Cheers… :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing these. It’s too bad I can only conjure up faces for 1-2% of them, but it is fun to be reminded of recognizable characters I haven’t thought about in years. What cool image Andre the Giant is!

Sure… I’ve added it to the wiki. I also created a password for you so that you can edit the wiki any time. It should have arrived by email. :slight_smile:

Hi Yan,

Thanks for the list. It is very useful.

I forked my own version and have sorted it by (First Initial, Last Initial) to make it easier to find names. I’ve attached a copy below and also made a page on my blog which I will keep updated when I add names to the list:

I hope people find it useful, and please let me know if you have any objections to me forking your list.
