    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.

    I remember seeing Octavia Spencer in small roles growing up like Spider-Man and Big Momma’s House, not knowing who she was, and then she did The Help which skyrocketed her career

      Preach, I watched Spider Man again recently, and I was surprised to see her as the receptionist in the boxing tournament. She also had a small role in Never Been Kissed as one of Jose's coworkers.

      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.

    Ke Huy Quan, an Asian-American child actor who struggled to find work in the industry after two hit movies, takes a 30-year hiatus and then wins an Oscar for EEAAO. I’m so proud of him!!!

    @rara1800 Před rokem +4

    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

    There aren't any better actors than Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer. In my opinion they are both top notch, #1 actors at their game. They are amazing women. I watch everything they're in because i can count on it being a great performance.

    I fell in love with Harrison Ford when I saw him in American Graffiti. With all the well known stars in that movie, he was the one who stood out to me. I loved him ever since. All these people are amazing and it shouldn't have takin so long to make it.

    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.

    Melissa McCarthy didn't jump from Gilmore Gilrs to movie star. She had another show called Mike & Molly which premiered in 2010 and won her an Emmy in 2011, the same year she was cast in Bridesmaids. Kinda left out that part.

    Doesn't everyone struggle to break into Hollywood? It's not that big of a deal as some people started through theater and/or television before having major success through television and/or film. I admired that they got their big break and kept preserving through their professional and/or personal issues.
