Table for Six

What five guests would you invite to a dinner party? For myself, the key is to have people that I admire as well as those who would mingle together well and create fascinating conversations that are filled with laughter. Here are mine:

Sterling Hayden
Tom Waits
Julian Schnabel
James Stockdale
Bud Hylander

Struth that's a tough one!!! First of all, I wouldn't invite any live people because live people scare me.

Five? FIVE??!?!?!!!!! Only 5?!?!?! Surely I can invite 12!!! I've got a book somewhere that asks a buncha famous people their dinner guest list -- I'll have to dig it out and post some of their answers.

The deceased list (which will change every time I think about it, I'm sure):

Katharine Hepburn
Louis Armstrong
Hypatia
Vincent Price
Abraham Lincoln
