Ricky Gervais - best comedy writer of the 2000s, and one of the most genuinely funny and clever personalities around.
David Bowie - revolutionised the music industry, fantastically talented and, as a bisexual, probably inadvertently opened minds.

I do like Stephen Fry for raising awareness of Bipolar.
