I’m a writer and I like to write movies about true stories. Who are interesting famous people who’s life I could use as story?

A lady who isn't famous, but should be. Her name is Sarah Josepha Hale. Among other things, she is (correctly)

credited with being the person most responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday. Oh, and she also wrote a little poem called "Mary had a Little Lamb".

Google her name!

W. Mark Felt, a.k.a. "Deep Throat", former Deputy Director of the FBI

Aldrich Ames, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer turned KGB mole, who was convicted of espionage in 1994. He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldrich_Ames)

A female pirate; see http://mentalfloss.com/article/58889/9-female-pira... for ideas

Any of these people: https://thoughtcatalog.com/hok-leahcim/2014/07/27-...

Common criminals who become famous via their crimes. Their present prison information is available. Their history is easy to research. They are often extroverted people who have already said a lot.

Look up old newspapers.

"...people WHOSE LIVES..."

Write about Bill and Hillary. If you write it from Bill's perspective you could title the book, The Hag Who Loved Me (sort of).

Ray Sutton, AFT agent who disappeared without a trace in 1930.

Evanna Patricia Lynch. She is the actress who played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter series. She is not super famous or anything, but she has an interesting story.

*whose

There are countless people whose lives might make for interesting reading. The real question is whether or not a particular author might be capable of producing something that's worth reading about that person. How many books have been written about Atilla the Hun or Beethoven or Captain Cook? Plenty. And the wide majority of those books were written by people who were passionate about learning about the people they were writing about. They didn't flip a coin and decide to write a book about that person on a whim. They painstakingly researched that person's life, meaning that they read many other books in order to know what it was they might be able to bring to the table that others had not. And you think that if you get a few suggestions from people who ask you to write a script for a biographical film about Dickens or Einstein or Freud you'd be able to do a solid job without spending the requisite amount of time and effort on preparation? Hardly.

The history books are full of interesting people. Could also try interviewing people you meet in the street. Many years ago I worked in an oral history interviewing branch of a state library and heard the lives of a diverse range of people from business people to politicians to ordinary people remembering the first electric lights. The world is full of interesting stories.
