Answer 1

Some people become famous for one of the these reasons:
1. for having special talents (artists, musicians, painters, etc.);
2. for having special knowledge (scientists, professors, inventors, etc. ) or training (football/basketball players, etc.);
3. for being different from the "crowd" (very tall, very short, very old, etc.) or for doing something "bizarre" (like many of those people listed in the Guinness Book of Records);
4. for having done something out of the ordinary (such as saving someone´s life);
5. for breaking the law (robbers, rapists, terrorists, etc.); in this case, they´re not exactly "famous" but "notorious" (= famous for something bad).
