8. Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro is a name known around the world, and due to the nature of his regime and his political stance accurate information is hard to find coming out of the island of Cuba. However, those rascals at CNN (again!) managed to publish a draft obituary in the late 2000's declaring the Prime Minister of communist Cuba had died. The draft published was based on Ronald Reagan's obituary, and managed to describe Castro as a 'lifeguard, athlete, and movie star'. We suppose that a man who honed dodging bullets as a primary skill is probably quite the athlete, so at least it was partially accurate.
