Life / Famous Polish people (that we have actually heard of) [231]

In Politics:

Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski is of Polish descent

In Sports:

Sebastian Janikowski
Mariusz Pudzianowski (surprised no one mentioned him, since he's one of the most famous strongmen in history)
Krzysztof Oliwa
Mariusz Czerkawski
Wojtec Wolski

Wayne Gretzky, Ed Olczyk, Bryan Smolinski, James Wisniewski, Lee Stempniak, Mike Komisarek, Travis Zajac, Brian Rafalski, and Daniel Tzaczuk are all of Polish descent.

Maybe all of these people aren't famous, but anyone who follows hockey to some extent should ahve heard of most of these names.
