Default Famous Living NFs

For pedagogical/illustratory purposes, I'd like to compile a list of 16 men and 16 women of each MB type, all of whom fulfill the following conditions:

1. They must still be alive
2. They must be internationally famous (for good things)
3. They must have personalities that are well-known or easily researchable
4. Uncertainty about their type must be minimal.

Regarding NFs, I've thus far got 3/8 - Kate Winslet or Oprah (ENFJ), Bill Clinton (ENFP) and Terry Pratchett (INFP). Arguments available upon request. (Just because I'm too tired to write them down now.) Want to help me get the remaining 5/8?

Female ENFP candidates:
Female INFP candidates:
Female INFJ candidates:
Male ENFJ candidates: Bono
Male INFJ candidates:
Male ENFP candidates: Robin Williams? (I'd like one to replace Bill Clinton if possible due to his not being recognizable enough.)
(Male INFP candidates: Johnny Depp? If he is INFP, he's replacing Terry Pratchett.)

(Incidentally, I am perfectly capable of googling famous xNFx lists; what I want is to hear who you personally believe to be xNFx - preferably with (links to) arguments. )

Oprah's more famous than Kate Winslet. As for male ENFJ's, we've got Ross Perot. I would say Ronald Reagan, but sadly he's no longer with us. I've also seen Johnny Depp listed as ENFJ.

Oprah may be more famous, but the ENFJs I know don't quite identify with her. Kate Winslet seems to be more palatable.

Same argument applies to Ross Perot (who by the way is not famous outside the US).

Which type do you think Johnny Depp is?

I don't know anything about her. She's probably alot more famous in Britain than the United States.

I don't know. I'm torn between ENFJ and INFJ.

INFJ's seem (to me at least) to be sure of their calm, quiet exterior. ENFJ's on the other hand seem to fidget be bashful under alot of attention. At least that's how I am, and whenever I've seen him interviewed, that's exactly how he acts. That said, I only know 2 ENFJ's in real life.

Interesting - I would have said exactly the opposite (bashful INFJs, attention-happy ENFJs).

Oprah, of course. I'm saying Ross Perot is unknown outside the US.
