[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP. Let's turn this around a little bit -- Who would you and other posters consider truly and legitimately famous? Sure, I'll give you A-List celebs like Clooney or Pitt or Aniston. I'll also give you top-tier business & billionaire tech folk like Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, or Elon Musk. But outside 3-4 dozen people from those obvious groups spread around the entire country, who are you going to call famous? By your rarified standard, there aren't many people who make the cut.[/quote]

Yeah, that is the whole point of being a celebrity--it's not super common.  You are in the public eye and people know who you are across a broad range of the population.  Aside from what you mentioned, I would say that a few best selling (e.g. J.K. Rowling) and pultizer prize wining novelists might be considered famous (say with this whole Harper Lee scandal lately, most people know who she is), some musicians (both pop stars and people like Yo-Yo Ma or Phillip Glass), civil rights leaders (like, say, Malala Yousefi), and a handful of socialites like the Kardashians or Paris Hilton.  If no one outside of the beltway knows who you are, you are not a celebrity.[/quote]
