The most recognizable living person today is…
-
an actor

a movie or theater staff
-
an announcer or talk show host
-
a writer
-
a musician
-
an other kind of artist
-
a website or game designer

-
a scientist
-
not a scientist though claims to be
-
a religious leader
-
a politician or military leader
-
an activist

The above works alone too, but you might also do a second poll later similar to the following.
The most recognizable contemporary sportsman is
-
Lance Armstrong
-
David Beckham
-
Roger Federer
-
Michael Jordan
-
Garry Kasparov
-
Michael Phelps
-
Michael Schumacher
-
Mike Tyson
-
Tiger Woods
(I gave sports as the example because that's the one for which it's the easiest to make a reasonably long but varied list of very famous figures.)
Update: added "businessman"; changed Cristiano Ronaldo to David Beckham, for the latter is more famous.
Update: in fact, the second poll (the one about sportsmen) might work alone too.
Update: you may want to add Björn Borg.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
