If someone were to ask you who you thought were the most memorable personalities of the 1900s who would you pick? To be fair, please feel free to pick up to 3 males and 3 females.

lesley153 Adolf Hitler was very much celebrated in his time and, in some quarters, still is. J Edgar Hoover had his moments too, albeit not in the same league as Hitler's.

Off the top of my head, three of each, and I shall probably change my mind in an hour:

Rosalind Franklin
Golda Meir
Lena Horne
Albert Einstein
Christiaan Barnard
Johan/Janne/Jean Sibelius

Greatguggly Speaking of mind changing, I should replace Meryl Streep with Lucille Ball, who was the bigger star. I was never a fan of I Love Lucy, though. I watched it many times as a kid and never understood what people thought was so funny. I understand it was a different era and comedy almost never stands the test of time, but I just didn't like it. I think she's overrated but nevertheless she was a huge star.

Hmm. Interesting question: I'm going to take it as looking for the most memorable entertainers of the 20th Century, as opposed to the most influential or "best" (whatever that might mean).

Jackie Gleason, Henry Fonda, and Groucho Marx

Lucille Ball (I didn't like "I Love Lucy" when I was younger, either, but I've watched it a lot more recently, and I've discovered it's better than I thought), Katharine Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor

Greatguggly Not exactly a celebrity but Anne Frank should be considered one of the bravest and most inspirational people ever.
