'famous names' that 12-16yrs would know...?

I am rather more than 12-16 years old, and need a game for 12-16s to do. So I'm thinking of the 'guess who I am' game, the one where you put a sticker on your forehead and ask questions about who you are (to which other people can only say 'yes' or 'no').

So - can you give me ideas of famous names that 12-16yr olds would know... preferably ones that an ancient 40yr old would know too?!

Thanks!
