Don't know about the single most famous, but Larry Thorne (born Lori Tuorni) is one who comes to mind. Born in Finland, he was a veteran of the Winter War and Second World War, and was one of the first Green Berets. He was killed in Vietnam in a helicopter crash.

What do you have to do to become a green beret?

The process of becoming a Special Forces soldier is a lengthy one. The following is a condensed answer. A soldier must first be selected to train. This is done during the first phase of training known as Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS). If a soldier is selected he chooses a language to learn and a specialty. The specialties are; Explosives and Engineering, Weapons, Communication, or Medicine. If the soldier is not yet airborne qualified, he must then attend and complete the US Army Airborne school. A soldier then begins the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC) by attending a 4-6 month language course to learn a foreign language. After completing language training he must then attend and complete the 7 week Small Unit Tactics (SUT) course. Once complete the soldier then must attend and complete the 3 week Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE) course. Upon completion he begins training in his specialty (56 weeks for Medics and 13 weeks for the other three specialties). Finally future Special Forces soldiers must complete the 30 day culmination exercise known as Robin Sage. After completion the soldier is allowed to wear the Special Forces tab on his uniform and wear the Green Beret.
