Dammit, I knew I was missing an obvious Washington and Jackson, especially since he’s Hugh JackMAN. GAH!

I shake my fist at people who say Cecil for #2. I know you might score more than me (How did I forget Douglas? ☹ ), but that sounds about the same as putting “Grizzly” as your answer.

fake edit: Damn, there actually was a real Grizzly Adams, making such an answer as reasonable as “Magic” Johnson.

real edit: I swear I didn’t see someone actually say Grizzly Adams before making this post.

5: AKA Magic  
7: Apparently he’s a funk musician. I couldn’t find any names I recognized online.  
8: Another one I had to Wiki. There’s a lot of William Wilsons, so hopefully folks will think of at least one of them.

I’ll bet 3 and 9 are both conches.

/10. In retrospect, I’m not sure if she qualifies since her full last name is Bonham Carter and not just Carter.
