Question Famous archers

Can any body name any famous archers ? Not people who are famous for being archers ,I mean people who are famous for something else but who happen to be archers .
For example Geena davis nearly made the u.s.a. olympic squad and I believe Arnie (dont ask me to spell his surname )was a keen archer back in the day .
But for the life of me I cant think of any others so over to you lot , there must be some isnt there ?

Famous to some, I started shooting at about the same time as Steve Howe of Yes and GTR. He had a lovely Bristol car which I got occasional lifts home in
