Help name these faces!

I'm doing some little competition thing, where you have to name the faces on this thing. They didn't really describe whether we're allowed extra help or not, so I just went for it. I really need the money for travelling this summer! :D

I have all of them except like 5, which is really irritating me, since NOBODY can get them.

Half of it is because I want to win and the other half is just because I'm so damn curious about who these people are!

Halp!

The one's circled in red are the ones I need. You can understand the numbering system...

    Number 10 looks quite a lot like Ringo Starr... I'm not 100% on this though. Can anyone confirm it?

    Have you tried putting the faces into that MyHeritage "who do I look like" facial recognition thing? If they have those people in their database it's likely that they're using the same pictures and it should pop right up.

    Yep. It's not the identical picture in the Wikipedia article on him, but it's close. And in a Google image search for Sartre, the first result is that exact image from the collage.

    Edit: so 2, 6, and 15 are confirmed. 9 and 10 are still at large.

    Don't think so. It could be, but I couldn't find any more recent pictures that made me think it was him.

    In the last row, third from the bottom is Maya Angelou (I think)

    Below her is Quentin Tarantino (I think)

    And below him is Alfred Hitchcock. ...I think.

    On the bottom row, third guy from the left is John Lennon (I think, you know what hell, let me just say that I'm only 80% sure about any of these)

    Edit: Above the lady above Maya angelou is Bono, Followed by Al Gore. I believe the man to the left of al gore there is Morgan Freeman. To his left is some guy. But to that guy's left is Ghandi. The man on the far left in that same row is Bill Gates.

    Oh, they're numbered.

    16 is Mohammed Ali. 9 is Sigmund Freud (SP) 10 appears to be that guy from happy gilmore. I think 12 is Einstien

    That's all I got.

    Er wait those numbers aren't right.

    Damn it. I think 6 might be Gerald Ford.

    People don't read before they start naming do they? :)

    The ones the OP needed are red, and the ones he already had solved are checked. So there were 5 unchecked, red boxes. Three of these are solved now (2, 6, 15), so only 9 and 10 are still needed.

    In his defense, they do look kind of similar... if Morgan Freeman were older... and squintier... and more political... :)

    I believe that woman is Vivienne Westwood. Bare in mind that she's a crazy ass fashion designer and thus has looked VERY different at different points in her life. atm shes like a 70 year old woman with massive dyed orange hair

    Well, I'm just double checking them now to make sure they're all correct.

    The only one's I'm not 100% sure of from seeing picture evidence, etc, is 12 and 18 - they have been called Betty Friedan and Annie Liebovitz respectivelly. I'm also not sure about 7 - Arthur Miller, 13 - Allen Ginsberg and the picture of Louis Armstrong - since he seems a lot skinnier than that guy.

    Maybe you can rest my thoughts before I send this in :)

    I really, really don't think 12 is Betty Friedan, and I'm not sure who said that. http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=off&q=betty+friedan&btnG=Search+Images

    As for 7, I'm not really sure. 7 actually looks similar to a young Miller or Ginsberg, but I can't find the exact image, and it looks different enough that it could be someone else entirely. 13 could be Ginsberg, not really sure.

    That is Louis Armstrong though in the picture next to 15.

    edit: 13 for sure is ginsberg, here's the picture

    18 is for sure Annie Liebovitz

    the only one i'm unsure of is 7, i just don't think that's miller....
