Only 2 so far:

- Fred Astaire
- Ginger Rogers

Next people I'd like to read about (if I can find some good books on them) are Audrey Hepburn and Gene Kelly.

Countless, not to mention the Bio channel is one of my favorites.

Recently I read Walter Dandy though.

Roald Dahl's Boy
J.G. Ballards Empire of the Sun

Both good books. I even enjoyed the latter despite studying it in English Lit.

I read a lot of biographies of physicists.

Richard Feynman's Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feyman is great read and funny.

The autobiography of Mineko Iwasaki, and the biographies of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh and Queen Mary of Romania.
This is all I can remember for now.
