Why does Nobody remember Edward D. Wood Jr. very much? Yeah, he was on this list, but he was placed far too low (he was at #6, Id move him to #4 or #3.). Mostly because not only does he play this "terrible" person in a way that makes him not only likeable, but also kind of sympathetic, as you want to see him succeed but he never gets to. Not only that, he's an example of a person working in a creative medium FOR THE CORRECT REASON. He's just doing what he loves, and doesn't care if it sucks...
