Were any of the people you use to look up to involved sports or the entertainment industry?

Every kid in Australia wanted to be Dennis Lillee when I was growing up.

No, I  think the people I looked up to were people I knew in real life.

Afraid not.

I don't think I've ever looked up to anyone except for Bruce Lee and any prominent figure during the Civil Rights Movement. This post was edited by Zack at January 4, 2022 6:07 PM MST

They were teachers.

I still look up to the following (all music).
I must look up to them because they have all have immensely bettered my life (and some, in some ways, literally saved my life):

Howard Jones
Johnny Nash
The Pointer Sisters
Laurie Anderson
The Mamas and The Papas
Bobbie Gentry
Robert Muczynski
Enya


I still look up to anyone involved in the making of my favorite movie which changed my life for the better in many ways in which I'll not describe at the moment  :) 

George Romero's original 1968 "Night of the Living Dead"
