Billy Crystal. As long as he has been in show biz, i have admired the way he does not let hollywood affect him. He has been married to the same woman for 20 plus years, he keeps his family life private and he has not let the stardom change him as a down to earth guy. YOu have to admire someone like that becus there are so few.

There have been so many great players in the history of football, and everyone will have a different criteria in their determination of what makes a player ‘iconic’, but there are a few names who I think must surely be in the hat…\n\nAside from Pele and Maradona, who are penned in already, I’d say the most obvious would be the great George Best, who sadly passed away last year.\nPele himself once described Best as ‘the greatest footballer in the world’, and for pure, unadulterated talent he’s certainly up there with finest proponents of the game. He had a unique genius that made him one of the most exciting players of his, or any other generation, as well as one of the first ‘celebrity’ footballers. The cheeky character so evident in his football was mirrored in his personality and the young Best was a star on and off the pitch, but he also had a self-destructive streak that controlled much of his life.\n\nAfter Best, I’d have to consider a good few others:\n\nPuskas – The Hungarian that showed England that rest of the world were actually quite good at football. Fearsomely powerful and one of the finest international goal scorers of all time.\n\nGordon Banks – Seemingly super-human English goalkeeper that made that unbelievable stop from Pele’s close range header in ’70. To my mind the best keeper ever, and in that sense a football icon.\n\nJohan Cruyff – The original Dutch master, he invented half the skills you see today off the top of his head. Wickedly creative, strong and skilful, Cruyff brought something new to the game and was at the heart of one of the most gifted World Cup sides ever.\n\nZidane – In my opinion the greatest player in modern football. Powerful and skilful with ridiculous vision, Zidane is a French playmaker that creates and scores goals that no one else can even imagine, let alone actually realise.\n\nPhew! And I haven’t even mentioned Van Basten, Eusebio, Ronaldo, Henry, Muller, Beckenbauer, Platini, Charlton, Garrincha, Zoff, Di Stefano, Maldini etc, etc…

Lee Iacocca, Ross Perot, Mark Cuban, and of course PT Barnum. My favorite of all time is Ben Franklin. You must read his autobiography.

John Lennon.  He had such a profound positive impact on my generation. He made you think about the world around us, and was highly spiritual.He still lives through his music.  He will go down in history as one of the best musicians/songwriters of all time in my opinion.

My opinion: Abe Lincoln. He helped to keep a divided nation together under some of the most adverse conditions and situations that any president has ever had to contend with- and not only on a national level but on a personal level as well. All that while having to sleep in an awkward angular position in a too-small bed, with a crazy woman by his side and Monica Lewinsky nowhere in sight! A true American hero if you ask me. :)

For me it has to be Jenifer Love Hewitt; she is beautiful,  sophisticated, has class and a body of biblical proportions..............aaahhhh

If I could have any famous person in the world, I think it would have to be Gerard Way. He just....works. He seems like he's my type and he's really hot and really sensitive. It's the lethal combination of tender and tough that I find irresistible. But if not him, then maybe.....\nFrank Iero\nSonny Moore\nJohnny Depp\nBillie Joe Armstrong (don't like Green Day but he's really hot)\nEd Sloan\nDavey Havok\nBrendon Urie\n\nAnother guy I really like is Eric Mccormick, from Will and Grace.

Most: Mandela, I guess, because he was my president and he was a truly great man\n\nLeast: Nixon, for being a liar, murderer and power crazed psycopath, though any of the PNAC chicken hawks come in a close second. \n\nAs for Mr 'Standing his ground above', whatever happened to "we will catch bin laden... (eight months later:) We don't know where he is, he isn't a priority...

Walt Disney...The man was pure genius.  He provided a temporary fantasy escape for people with his wonderful theme parks, and let adults be kids again if only for a little while.  I admire him more than any other human being that ever lived.

michael jackson...always the number one..\nNo one can take his place.

That's a pretty good one, but I think John Lennon is better. It's not that I know it for a fact, but I bet more people would think so just due to name recognition.
