Real People That Have Appeared In Comic Books

I was reading DC: THE NEW FRONTIER again recently and read the part where Charles Yeager appeared in it when he met a young Hal Jordan and it got me thinking about all the real people that have appeared in comics. These are some of the ones that came to mind...
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Appeared in Marvel Comics in issues like THE INVADERS. Appeared in DC comics in the old Earth-Two in titles like ALL-STAR SQUADRON.
President Bill Clinton.
Appeared in Marvel comics like CAPTAIN AMERICA and in the PRIME comic from Ultraverse.
President George W. Bush.
Appeared in IRON MAN from Marvel as well as the "ultimized" Squadron Supreme title/universe SUPREME POWER and the first issue of the UMU title THE ULTIMATES.
Rodney Dangerfield.
Made a cameo appearance in IRON MAN.
And then there's all the Heavy Metal acts like MOTLEY CRUE, RATT, POISON, PANTERA, KISS, WHITESNAKE, GUNS N ROSES as well as the like of VANILLA ICE, PRINCE, and PAULA ABDUL that appeared in the various titles from Revolutionary Comics.
That's just a few I can think of offhand, but there's more than that.
So, what real person have you seen in a comic book?

John Belushi, Dan Ackroyd, Gilda Radner, Garret Morris, Jane Curtin, Bill Murray, and Laraine Newman met The Thing in
Marvel Two-In-One
back in the late Seventies.
What's ironic is that Michael Chiklis has portrayed both John Belushi and The Thing in film. Vic Mackey rulez!

I think ronald reagan made a few dc universe appearances in the 80's, possibly in legends and other things. Richard Nixon was in a superboy story from the 60's the was never published at the time but turned up in an 80 page giant a while ago [possibly the silver age 80 page giant during the silver age event].
Neil Gaiman was in an issue of peter bagge's dc series sweatshop.
Garth Ennis' hellblazer story royal blood features a few of the british royal family.

Oops
It was issue #7 of the original Image run. He rode around with the cops researching a story, IIRC.

Courtney Cox appeared in an issue of Iron Man and even implied she had an affair with him and mentions a comment about her husband David. Think it was in an issue shortly after returning from the heroes reborn universe.

In simpsons comic issue 100 bart and lisa meet sergio aragones at a comic convention.
Early 2000AD issues in 1977-78 featured a character called M.A.C.H. 1, a secret agent who'd been given super strength and speed via experiments. [a blatant copy of the six million dollar man]. in 1997 they did a parody of this called BLAIR 1 featuring tony blair and a few other politicians

Some of the DC creators, Julius Schwartz, Carey Bates, and another writer, whose name escapes me, appeared in a JLA/JSA crossover. Other than that, I recall a couple of presidents (Truman in All-Star Squadron, for one) appearing in some comics. I'm sure I should be able to think of more, but it's early.

I think
Ronald Reagan
made a few
DC
universe appearances in the
'80s
I forgot to put that one in. He did appear in LEGENDS. A version of him from an alternate universe appeared in THE AVENGERS from Marvel as well.
He did appear in various mainstream Marvel universe titles and so did Nancy.
