In my opinion Marilyn Monroe is very inspiring b/c she was an ordinary person and she became a very famous actress and to imagine that when she was little she was an orphan lol

I thought that Marilyn Monroe was her actual name but it was actually Norma Jeane, she changed it to marilyn at age 21 bc she wanted to become an actress.

She went on to do Queen of the Damned.Which she had to play an ancient egyptian vampire Akasha she had to work night and day and wear painful contact lenses and teeth which she had to learn how to speak with. She had a very skimpy costume, and they had to shoot out in the freezing night cold in the Melbourne winter,which she would do take after take and not complain.

Hey, Hey students open your ears and listen. Annie Oakley was a actoress she only stared in to films that she was offered a position for b/c of her popularity but she was most famous for being a circus performer and a pro. sharpshooter. A sharpshooter was a very skilled person who does various tricks and stunts with many different types of guns. She and husband (Frank Bulter) traveled around the world with Buffalo Bill West a very old popular circus show. Annie Oakley was soon after her first show named "little miss sure shot" b/c she rarely ever missed a shot.

My person was a famous singer in probably one of the greatest bands of all tiime(the beatles), John Lennon. He best known for always speaking and singing of peace but he was REALLY rebellious as a teeneger in london. but he REALLY love writing poems,comics, and drawing REALLY wacky pictures. but one of his poems, titled "jabberwocky" went like this:"Twas brillig and theslithy toves,Did gyre and gimble in the wabe, All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe" And he wrote that at an early age. He kept that poem with him wherever he went. But he MOST known as the lead singer of the beatles, but his legacy was cut short when he was killed in 1980.

My person is Kevin Clash. You may know him as Elmo,the cute furry little red monster that lives on Sesame Street. He has been acting and playing with puppets ever since he was 3 years old. His mother worked a daycare in her house and Kevin would always entertain the kids with puppet shows. Kevin used to work for Jim Henson(the voice of Curmett the Frog)when he first started his cacreer and worked on stage crew. Jim noticed Kevins talent to rearange his voice and many ways and tried him out as a character in the show Fraggle Rock. Kevin made many puppets and acted as the voices of them in Jim's shows and movies. . . . I have never seen Kevin live but my brother watches him every morning at 10am with the same little red monster he has been playing with since he started his career.
