Wow - what a great thread! Such intellegent and well thought out answers and such a vast array of contemporary and historical figures. I'd have to agree with many of the suggestions thus far. Jefferson would be quite an interesting dinner companion, and being a Philadelphian, I'd have to include Benjamin Franklin as raconteur and interesting dinner companion as well. Moses would be up there for biblical/spiritual company. Being a dinner guest of the Medicis could have been quite educational. I'd love to have dinner with Bono if I had to pick a rock star. A true humanitarian. Oprah would be a top choice for contemporary women that I admire. And I'd love to have a one-on-one dinner/wine tasting with Andrea Immer. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with her after a dinner she hosted in Philadelphia and really enjoyed myself. But I'd want to pick her brain a little bit more about getting ahead in the beverage industry when it tends to be misogynistic in certain (not all) places.

Winona Ryder is also in the running.

Excellent choice -

Especially if one needs to add to one's inventory of silverware.

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

I think I know who Simon means by the Don.

Probably Don King

Wrong, but wilf is right, Sir Donald Bradman. The greatest cricketer in the history of the sport. Think Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth rolled into one and then given some table manners

Winona is a great choice but I would skip dinner!!!
