Vina Fay Wray (September 14, 1907 - August 8, 2004) was an American actress who starred in many films including the 1933 film King Kong. She is famously dubbed as one of the first "scream queens".
So far, she was only mentioned in Gaskette's bio image outside of the game Bendy in Nightmare Run, where it states that Bendy screams exactly like Fay Wray (although her first name is misspelled as "Fae") when Gaskette determines to go after him for having the taxi payment ignored.
Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915 - May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer. He is one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century, as well as the founder of the recording company Reprise Records.
In the tenth chapter of the novel Dreams Come to Life, Buddy Lewek recognized Sinatra in one of the celebrity caricature arts inside the Sardi's restaurant.
Georges Seurat
Georges Seurat (December 2, 1859 - March 29, 1891) was a French post-impressionist artist, best known for devising the painting techniques known as pointillism.
In the Dreams Come to Life novel, from the thirteenth chapter, Seurat's art style is briefly alluded to, when Daniel "Buddy" Lewek and his grandfather were visiting the Modern Museum of Art, during which, the latter was pointing to a pointillist-style painting, using it as an example of fine art, although it is unclear which painting it was, given its vague description. Seurat himself was mentioned in a later chapter, referring to the same painting.
Ginger Rogers
Ginger Rogers (July 16, 1911 - April 25, 1995) was an American actress who was best known for starring in films, televisions, radios, and stageplays.
In chapter six of Dreams Come to Life, Buddy Lewek describes Allison Pendle upon seeing her for the first time, comparing her to Ginger Rogers.
Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lewis (March 16, 1926 - August 20, 2017) was an American comedian, actor, singer, filmmaker, and humanitarian, known for his extremely prolific career in both acting and comedy.
According to Joey Drew's chapter on his poetic relationship with the Bendy franchise, in his memoir, The Illusion of Living, he compares the popularity of Bendy to that of Jerry Lewis, even going as far as to remark that Bendy has even more fans than Jerry Lewis.
Lauren Bacall
Lauren Bacall (September 16, 1924 - August 12, 2014) was a film-starring American actress who was ranked as the 20th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema.

Leonardo da Vinci (April 14/15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath of the Renaissance arts, who is famously known for his paintings such as Mona Lisa.
In chapter nine of Dreams Come to Life, Leonardo's name is mentioned in one of the library art books carried by Buddy Lewek for his grandfather.[3] From the tenth chapter, he is mentioned again when Buddy's grandfather pointed Buddy to Leonardo's Virgin Mary painting, although which Virgin Mary-depicted painting that was based on the brief description is unknown.
In the Souper Boris comic, Miss Twisted tries to steal one of the art pieces of Bendy's ancestor Leonardo da Bendy, who was a direct send-up of Leonardo da Vinci himself.[4]
