The one top right should be in jail.

 

Is that the blonde chick that I was with in 1981?

 

I see Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams as 2nd and 3rd from the left.The bottom one is a young Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At first I was tempted to say Woodrow Wilson because of the glasses, but it's definitely FDR in his younger years.

So, do I know my presidents?

 

Is the person at the top left Wayne Gretzky?

 

... I already got Gretzky

 

I didn't see that and didn't know his nickname. I was surprised to have even recognized him, not being much of a sports fan

Dennis Rodman!?

 

Here's another.

Rumor has it, he used to own an Ides of March Denarius.

 

@TIF, not sure whether I like the coin or the photoshop of Jed Clampett on a Roman imperial bust better.

 

This lady has a bunch of ancients under her name at the Getty Villa

 

There's actually another President I know who collected but isn't in the image: Ronald Reagan.

 

You mean this blonde?

 

Nicole Kidman is there too

 

Who is he?

 

This is a great thread. Curious who else comes out of the woodwork...
