Awesome list, oh wise one! 
Mine is even longer, though -- and unlike you I don't think the world will ever see an American Mozart, Tolstoy, Sappho, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Dickens, van Gogh, Leonardo, Beatles, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Rowlings, Duchamp, Kubrick, Aristotle, Nietzsche, Homer (don’t even), Goethe, Wagner, Hans Christian Andersen, Rodin, Hokusai, Stravinsky, Freud, Maharishi, Edward Munch, Boticelli, Sex Pistols, Plato, Brontë, Einstein, Strauss, Dostoyevsky, Renoir, Botticelli, Jane Austen, Gauguin, Lewis Caroll, Bach, Jesus, Dali, Murasaki Shikibu, Monet, Victor Hugo, Orwell, Nabokov, Chekov, Puccini, Picasso, Socrates, Bizet, El Greco, Grieg, David Hockney, Velázquez, Kandinsky, Dumas, David Bowie, Sartre, Frida Kahlo, Darwin, Newton, James Joyce, Freddie Mercury, Schubert, Kierkegaard, Liszt, Garcia Marquez, Francis Bacon, Brahms, Sun Tzu, Chagall, 007, Verdi, Raphael, Turner, Proust, Titian, Ravel, Oscar Wilde, Debussy, Bartók, Mary Shelley, Kafka, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Herman Hesse, Galileo, Truffaut (and no Netflix, that’s actually not an American b-movie actor), Muhammad, Rembrandt, Buddha, Chopin, Cervantes, Matisse, Karl Marx, Salman Rushdie, Handel, van Eyck, Stones, Godard, Bergman, BTS and whoever invented Scheherazade.

Irving Berlin. Sean Penn. Leon Theremin. Joaquin Phoenix. Max Factor. Helen Mirren. Neil Sedaka. Natalie Portman. Timothée Chalamet. Harrison Ford. Michael Bloomberg. Sergey Brin. Berney Sanders.
