I was angry, at first, that I wasn’t included in the list from www.BabyBoomers.com but remembered I’m not a Baby Boomer. Is your favorite Boomer on the list? Johnny Depp is there. Who would you add?

There were almost 80,000,000 baby boomers born between 1946 and1964. We decided to look at each and every one of them and see how many of those boomers became famous. Not all of the boomers below became famous for the right reasons, but still, they are famous none the less. And by famous, we mean a “household name”. From actors to presidents to mobsters, there certainly are some incredibly famous and influential baby boomers amongst us. Please feel free to comment below if we missed any obvious ones.
