Wikipedia Who's Who (NO RESEARCH)

Here's an easy one.
I got Wikipedia to give me 20 random famous people.
Then I took down where they were born, when they were born and their occupation.
So, I've listed the 20 famous people (sorted as Wikipedia "Random Article" spit them out) followed by the 20 occupations (in alphabetical order).
Your task: just match the famous person with their occupation.
There may be a few people you've never heard of but based on place and time of birth it should become fairly clear as to which occupation is the most likely.
Send me a PM with the occupations attached to the names.
Since there is no research allowed, this shouldn't take long - reveal on Sunday.
Now, get to work!

They'll give just anyone a Wikipedia page these days

I dunno.....I still don't have a page.
And I've done some amazing things........
I'm the only tourist to have visited Yazoo City Mississippi.
I'm the current point leader for 2026 on CraftPoker.
I once owned an 8-track cartridge of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica.

What more do I have to do?


and I got the receipts....


OK Wikipedia, it's your move now!
