After having spent some time in Austria, you will hopefully soon be able to separate your famous Austrians from your famous Germans. Many of the great Jewish intellectuals of the 19th and 20th century originally came from Austria-Hungary, and so did a great number of famous writers. People like Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Karl Popper, Kurt Gödel, Konrad Lorenz and Ferdinand Porsche all originally came from Austria and set out to leave a lasting impression on the world.
Actors like Romy Schneider and Klaus Maria Brandauer left their former home country behind and conquered cinema screens across the world. One even made the transition from Hollywood star to Governor of California: Arnold Schwarzenegger, probably one of the most famous Austrians in the world!
