Default Famous living NTs

The time has come to do this for NTs as well.

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 NTs, I've thus far got 2/8 - Sacha Baron Cohen (ENTP) and Meryl Streep (INTP). Arguments available upon request. Want to help me get the remaining 6/8?

Female ENTP candidates:
Female ENTJ candidates:
Female INTJ candidates: Hillary Clinton? Jodie Foster?
Male ENTJ candidates: Bill Gates?
Male INTP candidates:
Male INTJ candidates:

(Incidentally, I am perfectly capable of googling famous xNTx lists; what I want is to hear who you personally believe to be xNTx - with arguments and preferably with links to YouTube interviews exhibiting the candidate's NTness.)

Jon Stewart is an ENTP paragon. (I realize I'm not providing an argument, but, really, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more obvious example of an ENTP. I suppose I will support this more thoroughly if someone actually dissents.)

Who?

(Rhetorical question. Whoever he is, he's not famous enough to bump down SBC, according to me. )

I stand by that George Lucas is an INTJ. His reclusive nature and dislike of making public appearances is unmistakably Introverted.

George Lucas is known for being a technological pioneer (Intuitive Thinking) and dreaming up new and unconventional ways of making movies along with creating vivid fantastical worlds -- also Intuitive.

Though he possesses a gift for imaginative storytelling, he is not exactly skilled at developing the human element, and so probably isn't the Feeling type.

I personally draw a blank when trying to conjure up his personality, though of course I know who he is. Do you have any links to YouTube interviews?

About George Lucas I think it was fascinating to see how he dealt with concept art. You just have to see it, it's just so INTJ. I think I have to see it again too, because I don't really remember much more than that. :P

Yeah, I remember watching the behind-the-scenes of The Phantom Menace. The way he expressed what he wanted was just so coherent and visionary.

I think you can see some of his INTJ-ness in this video: http://starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/me3/5.html (Sorry it's not all Lucas.) I really get the feeling he is driven by Ni rather than Ne.
