Robin Lent, added Film directors and producers but again, it's somewhat problematic since many directors these days are also actors and vice versa.
Samuel Goldwyn has already been added to the project.
Can you locate the Warner Brothers (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros for more info) here on Geni?

if you want to start a Nobel Prize category...this is a list you could start with
Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel Prize in Literature 1978 author
Joseph Brodsky, Nobel Prize in Literature 1987
Melvin Calvin, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1961
Christian Böhmer Anfinsen Jr., Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1972
William Howard Stein, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1972
Walter Myron GILBERT - Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1980
Roald Hoffmann (Safran), Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1981
Jerome Karle (Karfunkel) (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1985)
American-Canadian
Rudolph Arthur Marcus, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1992
Alan Jay Heeger, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2000
Irwin Rose, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2004
Martin Chalfie, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2008
Milton Friedman, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences 1976
I think I have added all but one who was clearly Canadian (and Kevin added him to Notable Canadian Jews) and Louis I. Kahn.
I have not been also adding them to the lists, for which I apologize. I am juggling a lot of other things on Geni and outside of Geni.
This is an excellent project and has a lot of potential to draw people of all ages to learn something and to enjoy their time on Geni. Kudos to you all.

Kevin, thank you for your response.
Previous post deleted as it was erroneously sent midstream.
My person does not qualify for either specifically American or Canadian projects.
She was a Jewish ex South African so will be placed an appropriate project of that country.
Good luck with your project, if I come across any Notable Canadians, will let you know.
I put some of the category's in alphabetical order..there's some odd ones in this group
Admiral Hyman G. Rickover ("Father of the Nuclear Navy")

I added Harold Brodkey, my first cousin once removed.
Wow would my mother be jealous Pam Karp. She loves Norman Mailer.
