If I got to date someone famous, I'd choose Giovanna Baccelli. She was an eighteenth-century Italian ballerina in London who became the Duke of Dorset's mistress, and Thomas Gainsborough painted a wonderful portrait of her, which I've seen at London's Tate Gallery. She wasn't a classic beauty, but they say she had a winning personality, and I think it shows in the portrait.
