My grandmother:
I was named after her but she died before I was born. I am always told she was a wonderful woman. I would have been her second granddaughter by blood.
J.K. Rowling:
She is just plain brilliant, to put it simply and mildly. My favorite author of all time, she has never failed to capture my attention nor has she left me bored. If you've ever seen seen the Harry Potter movies and enjoyed them, you just HAVE to read the books. There's so much more to them.
