I got 30. Used the clues a few times, which helped. The accepted spellings were generous, but I still missed a couple where I wasn't quite close enough.
What I found most interesting is some of the percentages that people identified correctly The two most recognized were not surprising, but #3 is shocking considering some of the widely recognized people in slots 4-10.

Of course, a couple of them were potentially trick questions, which may explain #4 being a little low.

I got 38 BUT I admit to cheating insofar as in my aging pre-dementia I would look up people I knew I should know or whose names were on the tip of my tongue.
There were several I didn't know and a couple I just got plain wrong. I used clues several times for example I didn't recognize the foreign policy influencer from the younger picture...

I got 32. I knew very few of the actors and musicians but got the women's college basketball players, glad to see them included.

Clearly, I need to spend more time on the internet.

I got 24. Actually, I got 25 but I spelled "Tucker" with an F. Didn't get any of the sports, tv actors. or pop music ones.

I got 44 but they owe me one for misspelling Leticia's James' first name.
When I typed in Uncle Tom for Clarence Thomas it said "Close Enough."
