How many famous people can you think of, whose looks are instantly recognisable? (e.g Albert Einstein)?

The newest face would be Barack Obama. There are many former presidents who are recognizable such as Lincoln, Washington, Eisenhower, and Clinton just to name a few. Then there's people in entertainment. Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, the list goes on and on. There are not as many people that were famous for their academic achievements that are instantly recognizable, Albert Einstein is one, Benjamin Franklin another. I cant think of another off the top of my head. There is also sports. Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Babe Ruth, Lance Armstrong, Brett Favre, etc. And humanitarians/religious such as Mother Theresa and the Pope. There are just way too many instantly recognizable people to even think about counting.

The following are people who are instantly recognizable;

George Washington

Abraham Lincoln

Theodore Roosevelt

George Herman (Babe) Ruth

Adolf Hitler (infamous)

Albert Einstein

Bob Hope

John Wayne

Charlie Chaplin

Curly Howard (3 Stooges)

Mick Jagger

Martin Luther King

John F. Kennedy

Oprah Winfrey

Stevie Wonder

Elvis Presley

Martin Luthor King Jr.

President Clinton

George Bush

Osama Bin Ladin

Madonna

Michael Jackson

Countless ! Prince Charles for the nose and ears, Jimmy Carter for the teeth, Ghandi for his hairstye and dressing, Yao Ming for his height, Mao Zedong for his hairstyle and shape of the head, Jackie Chan for his nose, and of course Michael Jackson, Elton John etc...... the list goes on and on. The people most difficult to differenciate are the geishas...

Hardly 10-15 people. Usually I do not recognise any one as great but in my view every one is average or to some extent little bit outstanding like you and others in comparison to me.

Karl Marx, Freud, Adler, Gandhi, Lenin, Obama, Nelson Mandela. i did mention the names of famous persons and not mentioned notorious people.
