Some of you aren't telling "why," which is part of the question. Also, while I'm sure grandfathers and great-grandfathers are all wonderful or interesting people, make sure they count as "famous," which is also a part of the question.

Abraham Lincoln----wit and wisdom of the ages

Jim Croce-----great , non-drug using songwriter and people person of his time

Alex Fraser----my not so famous but extremely influential genetics professor and mentor during my college years, a gin drinking color blind painter and extremely free thinker who opened some pretty dark corners of my mind at a time when light was sorely needed there.

On one hand:
Jesus
Siddharta Gautama
Lao Tse
and my non-famous agnostic brother - just for the dinner conversation

On the other hand:
Sean Connery
Clint Eastwood
Louis L'Amour
and my non-famous father - because he would enjoy it just as much as I would

But if it's just me:
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Louis Dearborn L'Amour
James Alfred Wight - my three favorite authors, and men who influenced my thinking in certain areas.
