Botticelli

Throughout the Much Ado section of the story, Martin and Douglas will be playing a single round of Botticelli (which is much more sophisticated than wikipedia would initially lead you to believe [and which I would accept as the only possible legitimate use for twitter.]). I would very much like a selection of your favorite famous people from which to choose the ultimate answer.

Throw them at me - your favorite famous people, dead or alive, fictional or real - explanation optional, but it might be fun to share.

pargoletta - thank you for the tip on this, but still please consider Julia Child already taken...feel free to offer up anyone else, though.

And to start us off - here are mine:

John Lennon - I feel lucky to have lived for roughly two months on the same planet while this artist was also breathing.

Dean Martin - so often overshadowed, but such an amazing talent.  An unparalleled voice, a quick wit, and an unbelievable actor.

Elvis Presley - a guilty pleasure?  given the popular attraction of graceland, yeah, possibly.  My mom used to search out obscure singles on vinyl and then bring them home to be recorded onto 8 track - because records could be scratched, so 8 track was better?  I'm not sure I bought that, but subsequently I remember having to re-reel cassette tapes (with the careful application and rotation of a pencil) which had gone wrong and scrunched during play, so clearly she was correct that that wasn't the way to advance technologically...anyway, I love the 1968 comeback special (which I now have on CD) and am still annoyed that there was absolutely no one who could offer poor Elvis a guitar strap when he asked for one - how bleak is that?

Frank Sinatra - I cannot even narrow it down or try to justify this.  I challenge anyone to not be caught by any random song sung by  Sinatra.

And now I'm all weirded out by the fact that my favorite famous people are all musicians - and I'm so terribly incompetent with music!  Well, perhaps this is why I love them so very much, they bring music into my life when I myself cannot.  I"m thankful to anyone who brings me music.
