Bingo.

I didn't include any information because I wasn't sure, but she was in playboy.

This is going back about 60+ years, but shouldn't be that hard.

That's some fascist booty I'd definitely tap.

Ha! You, good sir, have made an erroneous assumption.
That's Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier, known as the "Voodoo Dictator" by some. He may have been a tyrant, but you can't deny that being a voodoo dictator must have been incredibly awesome.

This one's rther tricky since all of these guys tended to look the same back in the day. Hint: Not too far away at all from the previous fellow.

Damn, that is hard, all I can go with is the hint, and say Rafael Trujillo, the former dictator of the Dominican Republic, his family held power for 30 some years in the middle 1900's. I wont post a picture, should I be wrong.

That's pretty hard coz it's a painting... or just coz I don't know much about politicians. I thought I could play a part in this by posting an easy one. -_-

I was going to say Napoleon III. Wow, I suck at this.

Mine was Zhou Enlai, a member of the communist party who essentially "designed" the transformation that occurred in China during the 1980s. His role in Chinese history is subtle, but enormously important.

Actually Public-enemy1, mine was Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the General who was El Presidente of Mexico during the siege of San Antonio, the Texans' Declaration of Independance, and, of course, the famous "Remember the Alamo!" Santa Anna was the President of Mexico and was leading the Mexican troops during the Siege, Battle, and Fall of The Alamo, and trust me, it's all correct,
(I live in San Antonio)

Huey Long. I guess that he's sort of related to Trujillo and Papa Doc because he was a bit authoritarian and he was from an area near the Caribbean. I feel a bit dirty about having to look his name up on the Internet but, then again, I have a handicap considering that I'm not from the States so I'll claim the right to post the next picture anyway.

Brezjnev! Or something like that. And the person in emmytee's picutre is obviously Anna Nicole Smith.

This guy's hat is probably more recognisable than his face:
