Some famous people play a big part in the world's history as we know it. In other words, we are pretty sure the world would not be the same if it was not for them. Paradoxically, the iconic role of such people - in making history - tends to affect our perception of them. We might inadvertently forget the possibility of a live human being outliving the era of which they became a symbol. In such a way, famous people might surprise you by being your contemporaries. This very question was addressed by the Redditor Enginearz, asking: "What famous person from history is still alive?" Numerous comments helped to bring to mind the names of people who made history and are still with us as of 2023.
