I would not say that there are any "famous" Deedy's, however there are notable Deedy's. One such notable is Carmen Agra Deedy who is a children's book author and occasional NPR contributor. She is the ex-wife of one of my many, many, many cousins in the South East U.S.
Another notable (as well as another author) is my Uncle Jack or John G. Deedy, Jr. My favorite book of his is "Your Aging Parents" about how many of the middle aged find themselves caring for those who cared for them. This book is really about my Uncle Jack and my Grandparents, but also deals well with the universal issue of children having to parent the parent. It is out of print, but used copies are still circulating if you look for them.

I just wanted to clarify that my moniker is dolsgirl. For some reason the other two blog posts went in under a name, "Ceitidh" which I didn't notice until after I posted the second. I have no idea who that is. dolsgirl/Katie/Kathleen Louise McCarthy
I was reminiscing about my parents & it wasn't Jack Deedy it was Eddie Deedy & Rosie Deedy. I can't remember Rosie's maiden name, she had three sisters & her father was a doctor. Katie/Kathleen Louise McCarthy
