It depends on which fields, and which decades, you are asking about. There were famous doctors, lawyers, scientists, entertainers, presidents. Each decade of the 1900s produced more people who became famous. In radio, for example, David Sarnoff was a famous executive and Graham McNamee was a famous announcer in the 1920s; Eddie Cantor, Jack Benny, George Burns & Gracie Allen and Kate Smith were famous performers of the 1930s. Some famous inventors were Nickolai Tesla and Reginald Fessenden. Famous businessmen included Henry Ford and Walter P. Chrysler. Famous aviators included Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. John Glenn and Sally Ride were famous astronauts. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan were among a number of famous presidents. Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton became famous First Ladies. But again, it's difficult to select people from the past 100 years unless you help us to narrow the focus of your question.
