Synopsis
Born in Mississippi to young, unmarried parents, Oprah Winfrey was brought up by her grandma till she was six years old, when her guardian got ill. Winfrey then relocated to Milwaukee to live with her mom and half-sister in a boarding house. Oprah’s mom, who worked as a maid, banked on welfare now and then to support the family. Winfrey marched on to become a hardworking businesswoman, metamorphosing herself from news anchor to talk-show host to leader of her own multiplatform media conglomerate..
Faith
A calculating and responsible businesswoman, Oprah has turned her initial success in TV into many other ventures, including the conception of her own production company. In spite of her now fabled Midas touch – celebrity, power, and riches virtually bound from all of her projects – Oprah has another view of her position; for her, success is “getting to the point where you’re absolutely comfortable with yourself … to have the sort of internal strength and inner courage it takes to say, ‘No, I won’t let you treat me this way’ is what success is all about.”
Her travel to this self-realization hasn’t been simple.
Winfrey’s mom and dad, unmarried, were teenagers when she was born in Mississippi. She was given the name Orpah after an adult female from the Book of Ruth but a spelling error on the birth certificate altered it to Oprah. She passed her childhood growing up in miserable poverty on her profoundly religious grandma’s farm. When she was a little older, Winfrey moved in with her mom in Milwaukee, WI.
This turned out to be a difficult time as Winfrey says she was repeatedly sexually molested by male relatives. Winfrey got to be a bit of a wild youngster during her early teens, trying out sex and drugs till the age of fourteen when she birthed a premature infant. It died not long after, and upon recuperating, Winfrey decided to live with her dad in Nashville. It was under his strict guidance that Winfrey discovered discipline, constancy, and the inspiration to excel in school and alter her life.
Oprah has said that in her total life experience, her ability to believe in herself, and even in her blackest moments of sexual assault and being physically ill-treated etc., she knew there was a different way. She knew there was a formula to get out. She knew there was a different sort of life because she had read about it. She knew there were other places, and there was a different way of existence. It preserved her life, so that’s why she now focuses her attention on attempting to do the same thing for others.
Oprah’s rise to celebrity started when she took over a local Chicago talk show, which shortly became The Oprah Winfrey Show. In ’85 she completed her dream of becoming an actress, making critical acclaim and getting an Academy Award nomination for her support role as Sophia in the film The Color Purple. A year afterward her show went to the number one talk show.
The fame of the show stems from Oprah’s emotion, vulnerability, and compassionateness as a host and interviewer. She was the first to build an extra connection with her audience by sharing her personal life, ranking from anecdotes about her life partner Stedman Graham, to her emotional revealing of her own childhood sexual assault.
Fantastic material success has let Oprah pursue other things that very matter … being able to create a difference … in others lives. She also supports educational initiatives and those who help other people in their communities.
Synopsis
Born and brought up in Canada, Jim Carrey was a senior high dropout whose household fell on hard times when he was an adolescent. With his dad laid off, Carrey assisted in paying the bills by doing work as a janitor and a security guard. Yet, the family finally lost their home, and was forced to live in a van. After relocating to the U.S. and struggling on the comedy clubs in LA, Carrey broke it big on the TV program In Living Color. Forbes says he today realizes around $20 million per movie.
Determination
Arguably the top screen comic of the ’90s, Canadian-born entertainer Jim Carrey has blended equivalent parts of his idol Jerry Lewis, his unearthly ancestor Harry Ritz, and the loose-limbed Ray Bolger into a joyfully uninhibited screen persona that’s uniquely his own.
Carrey’s life was not always a barrelful of laughs; he was born on Jan 17, 1962, into a peripatetic home that on a regular basis ran the gamut from middle-class comfortableness to miserable poverty. Not amazingly, Carrey became a classic overachiever, standing out in academics while keeping his schoolmates in stitches with his tempestuous improvisations and elastic facial gestures.
His comedy club unveiling at age sixteen was a grim failure, but Carrey had already decided not to be beaten down by life’s letdowns (as his dad, a disappointed musician, had been). By age twenty-two, he was making a quality living as a standup comedian, and was starring on the short-lived sitcom The Duck Factory — a serial which oddly did little to capitalize on its star’s weird physical dexterity.
Throughout the eighties, Carrey appeared in support roles in such movies as Peggy Sue Got Married (’86) and Earth Girls are Easy (’90). Full TV stardom came Carrey’s way in ’90 as the main “white guy” on Keenan Ivory Wayans’ Fox television comedy In Living Color.
The most popular of the comics many portrayals on the program was the monstrously disfigured Fire Marshal Bill, whose doubtful safety tips imposed the wrath of real world fire prevention groups — and likewise earned Carrey the ultimate award of being copied by other comedians.
He wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars for acting services delivered and dated it Thanksgiving Day ’95. He put it in his wallet and it fell apart. Then, just prior to Thanksgiving ’95, he discovered he was going to make 10 million bucks for Dumb & Dumber. He put that check in the coffin with his father as it was their dream together.
Carey has said he hasn’t been as wild with his money as someone like him might have been. He’s been very safe, really conservative with investments. He doesn’t blow money. He doesn’t have a ton of houses. He recognizes things may go away because he’s already had that experience. He was and remains determined..
