Most cliche "If you could meet one person from history..." choices?

<p>I just read a stimulating book on Cleopatra…but I’m afraid she may be considered cliche. But, perhaps not if you give well informed details of why you picked her or Catherine. Delve deep into her innovation and ingenuity and regardless of who you decide to write about, if you are passionate about that person, it will not sound cliche. </p>
