Everyone mentioned so far is also a recent writer who actually has photographs available.
Is there any photograph available from Shakespeare? I am a bit oblivious now when that technology started and if Shakespeare had access to it. Otherwise there are only drawings available and I think we all have seen how different the same person can look on historic documents.
There are no photographs of Shakespeare. He lived way before the invention of photography.
As far as I understand there is a painting that might be of him, but it’s difficult because it doesn’t say “this is a painting of Shakespeare” on the bottom. It’s just a painting of a random man who probably was Shakespeare, but we don’t have proof.
Even if the painting is of him we are assuming that it’s an accurate painting.
You’d probably recognize Steven King also, but yeah the list is extremely small for everyone
You never know for sure if its King or Koontz tho.

I knew what he used to look like but that was 20 years ago.
Idk, I don’t think most people would be able to name him if they were shown his picture without context
