Well that's what happens when you exclude every interesting historical person from Paradise.
Eternity in heaven with a bunch of joyless saints and martyrs just sounds like an additional circle of hell.
Reminds me of this post:

>Beware of packing your Utopia with things you think people should do that aren't actually fun. Again, consider Christian Heaven: singing hymns doesn't sound like loads of endless fun, but you're supposed to enjoy praying, so no one can point this out.
- graemep 2y agoThat is a straw man heaven. Its supposed to be indescribable and the hymn singing a metaphor for an aspect of it.

I don't know if they're in heaven (i.e., are saints), but James Earl Jones, Chris Farley, Bob Newhart, Bing Crosby, Ricardo Montalbán, James Cagney, Gregory Peck, Alec Guinness, Andy Warhol, and Alfred Hitchcock were all Catholic, so there's some chance you could meet up with them.
