I am looking for the equivalent of a dictionary wordlist for names of famous people that I could do some Python manipulation on. Anyone know of such a wordlist, or know a way to get one? Preferably, it should be in a file format easy to deal with, like txt.

You might have to do this by category.

Oddly enough I searched for famous actors in a CSV and found this:

Wikipedia has links to the Forbes Celebrity 100 for several years. I only looked at the most recent one, but it seems it would be easy enough to copy it to excel, then copy just the column of names into a .txt file.

It's not perfect, but it's a start.
