Help.. need names of famous people

[LadyHawk]

Next week we are having a big ta-do with Customer Service Appreciation Week (I work on a helpdesk).. and I need help with one of the games.

The game is that a famous person's name is on a sticker on your back. You have to ask yes or no questions until you figure out who's name you have.

I need a list of about 100 famous people. Names that an average person would know.. so not football (We have lots of women that won't know those),not a specialized area like that.

Presidents, music stars (I have Elvis- every one should know Elvis

) I have Muhammed Ali, Jimmy Buffet, Henry Ford, Easter Bunny...

Come on, help me out. I need about 80 more.

Genghis Khan
Charles Manson
