What about Terry Fox?

Pam Anderson... she was a cutie when she was the LaBatts girl, but
since she donned the clown makeup and matching prosthesis, not so much.

Well if you're going to list John Kenneth Galbraith, then it's obligatory to list Myron Scholes, who won a Nobel prize for the Black-Scholes-Merton model of option/debt pricing.
Also, Steven Pinker?
