One of the folks on my Trivia Team ("The Usual Suspects") sent me an email recently, and I thought I'd bring up the same topic here.
A recent magazine article (I won't say what magazine, since I'd rather you didn't Google this....I want your own, honest opinions!) asked a whole bunch of folks (2000 teenagers, and 2000 regular folk) who the 10 Most Famous Americans in history were, EXCLUDING Presidents and First Ladies. Note that this is people who are FAMOUS, not those who are "important". Also, they didn't necessarily have to be BORN in the US.... So, if you were asked this question, what would you respond?
As a second question, who would you consider the 10 Most Famous American WOMEN (excluding first ladies)?
The funny part is that the lists from the teenagers and regular folk were surprisingly alike...only two names were different!
I'll wait a while, and post my own list, and I'll also be passing your answers off to my friend for her survey, but it'll all be anonymous, so don't worry.
Oh, one more thing: PLEASE put your list in a spoiler....I don't want anyone getting ideas from anyone else. Thanks!

I'm sure my list would be totally different as the survey probably had all actors, musicians and people famous for being famous.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

The last two are painful, but they are indeed famous, and probably more famous than any of the others. Which is whey they are painful.

Not at all, Bob. Which is one of the things that was so surprising. So submit away.

Smithsonian's survey said:
The 10 most famous Americans in history, excluding presidents and first ladies, per the 2000 teens who were polled are:
Martin Luther King Jr
Rosa Parks
Harriet Tubman
Susan B Anthony
Benjamin Franklin
Amelia Earhart
Oprah Winfrey
Marilyn Monroe
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
The remarkable thing is that adults 45 or older gave the same list as the teens with only 2 differences - Betsy Ross and Henry Ford replaced Monroe and Einstein. Even though it was asked Smithsonian didn''t actually give a separate list for women - they combined the two lists which I think, as we saw with Bob last night, overcame the tendence to think that famous probably means male. After all it wasn't too long ago to have such a survey read Who are the most famous American men? In addition it didn't make any difference if the teens were asked for "famous" or "important" Americans. Per Smithsonian the most surprising inclusion from both teens and adults- Harriet Tubman. I'll keep a spreadsheet of all the lists I receive and share it when I get the responses, as long as there are more than just 2 responses, which is what I have so far.
I think the best part about the lists - we can all breath a little easier: Our young people are not really as "dumbed down" as we may have supposed.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I think it is important to clarify the difference between famous and important as I would have 2 different lists. I would have the likes of Martin Luther King, Jr. and George Washington on my important list, but I don't have them on my famous list. Most of my list will compose of people who have been born in the information age since fame is easier to acquire with more media available. Another important distinction is famous vs. infamous. I would rather exclude people who have gained fame from deviant acts (e.g. Jeffrey Dahmer) instead of a valued talent or persona. I also factor in international impact along with national appeal. So without further ado and in chronological order of fame
