Description
Down on your luck? Don't despair. You might still be headed for the top! After all, consider the experiences of:
* Marilyn Monroe who in 1947 after one year under contract was dropped by 20th Century Fox because the production chief thought she was unattractive
* Walt Disney, whose first cartoon production company went bankrupt
* Johnny Cash who sold electrical appliances door-to-door
* Barbra Streisand who made her stage debut aged 19 in a show that opened and closed on the same night
* John Grisham whose first novel A TIME TO KILL was rejected by sixteen agents and a dozen publishers
This is an inspiring compendium of pop culture and historical trivia that will amuse and delight readers of all ages.
