    Lucille Ball could barely afford to feed herself before _I Love Lucy._ but she kept trying and eventually won the entire nation with her comedic skills. She deserves every ounce of praise she ever got. R.I.P.

    Sorry to say it, but there are some shady and sketchy stuff that's being exposed on Hollywood rn. There's a lot of innocent children going missing, there's alot of pedos that Hollywood is protecting so they can avoid the consequences of their harsh actions and seemingly nearly alot of celebs are not as much of a good influences that they depict they are. Just look at Oprah Winfrey, I used to admire her, but now I'm starting to see that she's a messed up woman who is willing to prioritize herself over others. It's disgusting and sickening.

    I really had no idea and a lot of them found success after 30. This is really comforting even though I’m not an actress or have any desire to be one listening. This is so relatable because it gives you hope that you can find success at any age it doesn’t have to be early as long as you keep trying that’s what matters.

    I kept seeing Octavia Spencer in so many roles that I began to recognize her. When I saw her in The Help, Ive already seen her in other roles and recognized her immediately despite not knowing her name. I love the role she and Viola played. That movie is on my top list of movies I treasure. Then Hidden Figures appeared and it’s when I finally knew her name. I love hearing about her journey. Makes me excited

    Katy Perry should’ve been on this list. She dropped out of highschool, moved to L.A., and then spent 6 years trying to get signed by a record label. not to mention all the countless times she was dropped and signed my record labels. In fact her first ever Christian album flopped so bad, the label that released it went bankrupt.
