In The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived: How Characters of Fiction, Myth, Legends, Television, and Movies Have Shaped Our Society, Changed Our Behavior, and Set the Course of History , by Dan Karlan (55, computer program/tech writer), Allan Lazar (75 y.o. retired physician), and Jeremy Salter, the authors take their stand.
Would you agree with, for instance, Siegfried at #7, or GI Joe at #51?
Garnered from various other websites, I have discivered:
8-Sherlock Holmes
18-Mickey Mouse
26-Cinderella
55-The Ugly Duckling
57-Atticus Finch
58-Saint Valentine
67-Kermit the Drog
and
85-Luke Skywalker
And the top 5? An interesting selection. What do you think?
5-Hamlet
4-Santa Claus
3-King Arthur
2-Big Brother
1-The Marlboro Man - whom they call "the most famous killer of the last 200 years"
P.S. Santa Claus does exist. :-)

The book intrigued me as an EQ coach. These characters never existed, yet influence us greatly. What does that remind you of??
