Actually, just plumbing this tiny audience's brains for amusement.
If you could pick just one personality to be able to visit before he/she died, which may be soon because of advanced age, in order to let that person know how much you appreciate their contribution to the arts, who would it be?
My top three, in roughly chronological order of their stardom:
Patti Andrews
Gogi Grant
Chuck Berry

Chuck Berry is a good one. Sadly my knowledge of the arts is limited; I haven't read too many current authors, for example.
I think I'd seek out Angela Lansbury and Peter O'Toole.
Christopher Lee
From Who is Tom Baker?
Herschell Gordon Lewis
BB King
Stan Lee and Steve Ditko
Frank Frazatta
Ken Summers
Tree Hugging Sister
Gina Lollobrigida
Gah. A lot of the ones I'd like to talk to have already passed on:
Madeline L'Engle
Jim Henson
I'd second Angela Lansbury.
Mike Rowe, though he's still fairly young.
Bill Murray, maybe.
My brain is really not working today. I know there have to be others but I can't think of them.
Sadly, most of the people who come readily to mind are already dead, but I'll give it a shot:
Willie Nelson
John Cleese
Michael Palin
Dan Ackroyd
I'm with everyone on the "already passed" meme. The first name that came to mind was Les Paul
This just goes to show that I really have no thoughts in my head. Everyone I am thinking of is dead. Man, I think I need to go find something to cheer me up again... :oP
Tom Baker! Heh. Though in keeping with the "darn, they're dead" meme, I'd really like to talk with William Hartnell to hear what he thought of the entire Doctor Who concept, which was hardly proven.
Hartnell came back for the Three Doctors. Apparently (according to the font of veracity that is Wikipedia) he was suffering from arteriosclerosis when he quit the series.
I like to think he'd be pretty happy with the whole thing, conceptually. I imagine he'd be pretty upset at some of the directions the recent reboot has taken - overt atheistic agenda, horribly oversimplistic situational moralism, rampant deus ex machina ... etc.
