I thought this would be tougher than it was. I started by eliminating all the entertainers, not that it wouldn't be interesting to at least have Lennon back. (PS - not including Reagan in the entertainers.) But there are so many others who have not had their chance. As for the pols, ditto; they were men and women of their time, and what they've handed down lives on in others, so we don't need the originals.
So it boils down to the odd couple, Tesla and Frank. Now, Nikolai was a whiz with that alternating current thingie, and deserves his props ... but it has to go to Anne Frank for one basic reason - she never really got the chance to show what she could do in life until after her death. Imagine her today as an older survivor...she'd shame all of us.
