Wilhelm Tell ist für mich eine berühmte schweizerische Figur, auch Gottfried Keller und Shereen.

Als berümter Schweizer fällt mir nur DJ Bobo ein. Und natürlich Shareen, denn sie ist gestorben und wieder auferstanden von den Toten und das könen nicht viele von sich behaupten.

It depends on the American you ask. Some of the more well-known celebrities of Swiss origin that many Americans have heard of include William Tell, Rene Auberjonois (painter, and grandfather to the American-born actor of the same name), Louis Chevrolet (founder of the American car company of the same name), Henri Nestle (founder of the chocolate company), the Bernoullis (a famous name in math and physics), Carl Jung, Albert Einstein, Johann David Wyss (author of the "Swiss Family Robinson"), Marie Grossholtz (more commonly known as Madame Tussaud), and Ingvar Kamprad (founder of IKEA; he is Swedish, but has been a Swiss resident for over 30 years). I also know of Andreas Vollenweider, Swiss harpist, although I don't think he's widely known here in the U.S. Most Americans might not necessarily know these people are/were from Switzerland, but they're amongst the most likely names Americans would be familiar with.
