Who knew William Shakespeare?
Loads of people. Everyone in Stratford knew him. Anyone in London who went to plays had probably seen him act, and a lot of people knew him not only to see him but by name. That is why there were dirty jokes being made about him and his female fans. However, it is hard to say who knew him really well: his wife and their neighbours in Stratford, the Sadlers, and his close associates at the theatre, perhaps.
Is Shakespeare's portayal of the commoners in act 1 of Julius Caesar realistic?

Pictures of William Shakespeare?
There are two authenticated pictures of William Shakespeare. One is the engraving made by Martin Droushout which appears in the first folio, and which is approved by people who knew him as a good likeness. The other is the memorial in the church at Stratford which was approved by his family, who must have known what he looked like. From there we start getting into murkier waters. The next best image is the Chandos portrait which is reasonably well authenticated, although not by contemporary sources. After that comes the Sanders, which is clearly identified as Shakespeare by an apparently contemporary label. The most recent is the Cobb, which has been put forward because a) it was owned by people whose ancestors knew Shakespeare b) someone once altered a copy of it to look like Shakespeare. Basically, any "Portrait of an unknown man" painted when Shakespeare was alive stands a chance of being put forward as a painting of him. Best to stick with the Droushout, the monument, and the Chandos.
