Bruce Willis Date of Birth: 19th March, 1955. Born at: Idar-Oberstein, West Germany. Height: 6’ Claim to fame: Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, and The Sixth Sense. Walter Bruce Willis better known as Bruce Willis is no doubt is one of the best-loved leading men actor of our times. Though mainly known as an action hero Bruce has got an amazing body of work. His biggest blockbuster was Die Hard (1988) which catapulted him straight in to the big leagues. He started his career from television working in the hit show ‘Moonlighting’ alongside Cybil Shepherd. During the show Bruce came out with his first movie in a starring role called ‘Blind Date’ with Kim Basinger, though he had worked in movies before most of them had been roles as extras. This movie was his first foray in to the celluloid world as a leading manactor. However, this movie was not to be the movie that got him recognition. In 1988, a year after his marriage to Demi Moore, Bruce came out with Die Hard; and a new franchise for action films was born. Die Hard was a mega-blockbuster and smashed many records on its way to the number one that year. The success of Die Hard lead to three more sequels to it, ‘Die Hard 2: Die Harder’, ‘Die Hard 3: Die Hard with a Vengeance’ and ‘Die Hard 4.0: Live Free or Die Hard’, making him one the most successful stars at the box-Office. Owing to his success, Bruce today commands a hefty fee of $20 million per movie. But not everything he touched turned to gold; Bruce has seen his fair share of unsuccessful movies, the biggest one being Hudson Hawk (1991), which he had also co-written. He followed it up with another dud ‘North’ (1994) in which he tried to play a ‘Master of Disguises’ but failed miserably.

If I were to ask you to think of a name that best defines the role of funniest and most ridiculous person in Hollywood, I would bet that several of you would come up with the name Will Ferrell. This shouldn't come as a surprise to any of you as Ferrell has filled hilarious roles in recent years such as Buddy the elf, Ricky Bobby the racecar driver, Ron Burgandy the anchorman, Chaz Michael Michaels the figure skater, and many others. Ferrell has become a modern comical titan as he blew away Saturday Night Live with some of the best ratings in history and has developed into one of Hollywood's funniest and highest paid comical actors. With the way that he can pull off dumb humor and make people fall out of their chairs laughing time and time again, it seems that Ferrell was destined to be a comic from the start, but it wasn't always that way. Although he is now regarded as one of the funniest and highest paid comical actors in Hollywood, Ferrell's comic acting career probably spawned from a childhood hunger that for a long time, even Ferrell himself was unaware of.
One of the biggest misconceptions that we have in our country is that foster care is a great thing; well, it’s not. There are so many flaws in our foster care system to even consider it a good idea. With constant reports of abuse, depression, lack of stability, to even the terrible after effects of the foster care system, like homelessness and incarceration; the foster care system hurts more than it helps. Our foster care system is bad for America, but most of all, our children.
Arguably the most popular — and certainly the busiest — movie leading man in Hollywood history, John Wayne entered the film business while working as a laborer on the Fox Studios lot during summer vacations from university, which he attended on a football scholarship. He met and was befriended by John Ford, a young director who was beginning to make a name for himself in action films, comedies, and dramas. Wayne was cast in small roles in Ford's late-'20s films, occasionally under the name Duke Morrison. It was Ford who recommended Wayne to director Raoul Walsh for the male lead in the 1930 epic Western The Big Trail, it was a failure at the box office, but the movie showed Wayne's potential as a leading actor. During the next nine years, be busied himself in a multitude of B-Westerns and serials — most notably Shadow of the Eagle in between occasional bit parts in larger features such as Warner Bros.' Baby Face. But it was in action roles that Wayne excelled, exuding a warm and imposing manliness onscreen to which both men and women could respond.
George Lucas is a proclaimed god in the film industry. His experience spans decades and his movies span generations. He is one of the most known celebrities in the world. With a flashy net worth of over $4.2 billion, one wonders how a mere writer could acquire such wealth.

There’s a high rate of homelessness among the children who was been in the foster care but age out. Many children are going to the foster care because of many tragedies they already had before they even understand what is life all about. Fortunately, for them, there are some people who try to help them out and give them a second shot at life. And having a child of my own gives me a full understanding how much a parent 's guidance and love mean to their lives and I am trying to introduce adoptuskids.org to help raise awareness of homelessness and adoption to all the people and hoping that the children in the foster care system will get a lot of help, support, and love.

Many people grow up in loving families and cannot imagine not having their parents and siblings around, but each year, 18,000 or more American born babies are put up for adoption (Newlin Carney). That means at least 18,000 children face the harsh truth of maybe not having a family to grow up in. Childhood is a very important part of one’s life and helps shape who one is. These children that are eligible to be adopted just need loving parents, good homes, and stability. And who is to say the high price of adopting is not ho...

He is a well-known writer, actor, and most importantly an inspiration. He continues to this day to create characters of unlikely heroes that inadvertently reflect him as a person and ignite motivation in us all.
