How about Ibn al-Haytham? He was an eleventh-century Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method.
Born in Basra (located in what is now Iraq) in 965, Ibn al-Haytham first studied theology, trying unsuccessfully to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greeks, including Aristotle, Euclid, and Archimedes. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding the branch of mathematics known as analytic geometry.
He traveled to Egypt to build a dam on the Nile, failed, and ended up imprisoned in Cairo for ten years. During this time he developed the idea of systematically testing hypotheses with experiments—the core of the scientific method. He wrote more than 200 books and treatises in his lifetime.
A good biography is "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It should be in your local library.
You can see how you could dress here: http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/ In fact, you could dress up and have people guess who you are. They might think you are Osama bin Laden. Won't they be surprised to learn that you are not a terrorist, but one of the greatest scientists of all time!

It doesn't have to be someone admirable I did the project in high school and I did Jeffery Dahmer (I think it was Dahmer anyway) It made for a very interesting talk. Remember 99% of the people in the class are going to do someone admirable
eg Einstine, Spears, MJ, some other athlete singer tv star ect.
I think you should do someone crazy or evil. You'll have alot more fun with it I guerntee you.
eg. Dahmer, Albert Fish, Andrei Chickatillo, (serial killers/canibals)
For an infamous woman think Marie Antoinette or Aileen Wuornos
I'd say Hitler but I don't think you'd want to dress like him.
Good luck and I hope you have fun with it

Eleanor Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Marilyn Monroe, Babe Ruth, to just name a few. Look at famous athletes, movie stars from the past or presidents and their wives.
