HELP! Can someone help me name famous people with the following initials? (See below)?

Question

Hi! I'm making a list for a memory system where you have to name 100 people with certain initials. I have names for most of them, but some of the names I've come up with are not really memorable at all. If you could help me come up with some good names for the following initialis, I'd be happy to send you my completed list. This is known as the "Dominic System" and is REALLY useful for memorizing large amounts of info- and counting cards in Las Vegas, ha ha. The person who invented this system is the six time world memory champion and all of his competition use it as well, so you know it really works!

Here are the initials that I need help with: (Remember to try to use famous people that are HIGHLY recognizable to most people- not an obscure actor, athlete or entertainer, otherwise it doesn't work as well. For example, for D.H., you use Dustin Hoffman or for A.A., Alan Alda.

1. O.A.
2. O.C.
3. O.E.
4. B.O.
5. B.N.
6. E.S.
7. G.O.
8. H.N.
9. N.B.
10. H.D.
11. G.D.
12. N.D.

You could use the The Internet Movie Database Biography Section at http://imdb.com/Sections/Biographies/ and select the Last Name's initial, such as "A" (using your first example). Then search using Control-F with ", O" (using your first example) with "Match Case" on to skip through the list until you find someone famous.
