Eoin O'Duffy just because he was a bit of a lunatic.

George Bernard Shaw

Very interesting guy. He must have covered the entire political spectrum by the time of his death. He was also the first (only?) person, if I'm not mistaken, to have won both an Academy Award/Oscar (For the screenplay for Pygmalion, 1938) and a Nobel Prize (for Literature, 1925).

I stayed in a hotel (Raffles) in Beijing a while ago and they put me in the George Bernard Shaw suite. Hilariously enormous suite; the best hotel upgrade ever. Was impressed that he was even known over there.

Bob Dylan has won both an Academy Award and a Nobel Prize too.
