You're welcome, Dev.
Dang! I can think of lots of BCs that are dead or in showbiz, but otherwise I'm drawing a blank.
One more question & you get a clue. Do you give in & want one now?! I can make it easy or difficult!
I've been trying to think of the ways for someone to become famous besides the ones we've named and I came up with two. I'll ask one before the clue, which can be easy or I'll never get it.
Crime?
No, not crime?
He is known along with his partner in business.

Bernard Christian?
Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's?
I'm adding the question mark but I'm sure it's him from that clue.
I would never have thought of B&Js on my own.
