In Reading, UK, back in 1975, Roger and Sally Winslet, stage actors by profession gave birth to the beautiful and talented Kate Winslet. Thanks to her blond hair and deep blue eyes, playing the pretty girl in films came natural to her. Although you can pick up any of her movies now on dvd rental, it wasn’t until later on in life, as her talents progressed, she built a large and expansive resume that covered everything from Shakespearean tragedies to pornography.

With both parents being stage actors and Kate’s grandparents owning a London theater, it was only natural for her to fall into acting at a young age. As a result, by the time she turned 11, she was ready to appear in a cereal commercial. She started acting classes and formal training after this appearance and even continued doing stage acts until she got into sitcoms.

It was when she was 17 that she got her first break when she appeared in the movie Heavenly Creatures. The only problem though was that this film was not received well even though the critics loved it. It would be in 1995 that she would make her grand entrance into the movie industry when she outperformed hundreds of actors to get the role in Sense and Sensibility; the role got her a number of awards.

She would then lad the roles in the films Hamlet as well as Jude which would help expand her resume enough to get her the role in the box office smash, Titanic where she played Rose DeWitt Bukater. Released in 1997, Kate Winslet received another Oscar nomination for her role in the film which led her to be one of the highest demanded actresses in the industry.

Kate Winslet has actually received a number of Oscar nominations and it seemed as if every film she played a role in she would get one. Movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Iris, Hideous Kinky, Quills and even Finding Neverland were perfect for her acting style and as such she seemed at home in these films leading up to her nominations.

Kate Winslet would get married to James Threapleton in 1998 and have a daughter with him but unfortunately in 2001 they were divorced. She would marry Sam Mendes in 2003 and have a boy with him. He was to have a huge effect on her acting career, as he directed most of the movies that you can find on Netflex DVD rental. The two are still married and while one may seem as having a complete life, without an actual Academy Award, Kate must continue to struggle on - that all changed however, when she won an award for best actress in 2009.

The star of the movie the Terminator is Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger who was born in Austria. His father who was a police officer brought him up in a very disciplined and strict environment to say the least.

Like his father, Arnold grew to love sports and even in his earlier childhood years he had the ambition to become a body builder. It was when he was only 15 that he joined a local soccer team and began building his muscles. By the time he was 18, he went off to serve his country and began focusing on a stricter diet.

In the army, with the continuation of exercise and the new focus on diet, Arnold was growing at a whole new rate. He chose to enter into the 1965 Mr. Junior Europe competition and won it. After this first body building win, there was no turning back. In years to come, Arnie’s movies would come to dominate the action section at Netflicks.

He would go on to win a number of titles over the next couple of years including that of the 1968 Mr. Universe competition. He competed in 7 Mr. Olympia competitions and won 6 of them consecutively; only loosing to Sergio Oliva.

Arnold Schwarzenegger then decided it was time to try some of his other talents so it was off to California where he was to start his future in film. In 1970 he made the cut and stared in the movie Hercules Goes to New York. In 1976, he was also in the movie Stay Hungry for which he won a Golden Globe.

He was in a number of films and none of them really did any good until his appearance in the film Terminator which debuted in 1984. After that he got a number of great roles such as Total Recall, Kindergarten Cop and even Twins - and you can get all his movies from Nexflix.

Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for the 2003 governor of California election and won it with a 3.4 million vote margin. His victory landed him the highest position in the state to which he was even re-elected in 2006 to continue running the state.

In this world virtually anything is possible and through Arnold Schwarzenegger one can attest to this fact. This Austrian born bodybuilder went on to become famous and even the governor of California while some time in between he had the entire Universe at his fingertips.

The man known as Clark Gable was born as William Clark Gable back on February 1st of 1901. Since a boy, he was known as Gabe by his friends while growing up in Cadiz, Ohio. Throughout his lifetime, he was married 5 times with his first two ending in divorce, the next two his wife died shortly afterwards and the fifth survived him.

Clark Gable’s mother died when he was only 7 years old. This is just one of many occurrences in his life which shaped him into the person he was to become. At the age of 16, Clark would drop out of school in order to accept a job working at a tire factory in Akron, Ohio. Later he would have several other occupations such as working with stocks as well as working in an oil field and he even was a tie salesman at on time.

By the time he reached the age of 24, Clark Gable had made his way to Portland, Oregon and while watching the play ‘The Bird of Paradise’, he was so inspired that he made the decision to get into acting. The manager of the theater, Josephine Dillon would help him reach Hollywood and his dreams as well as becoming his first wife.

In no time Clark had started to make new friends and one of them was the famous Lionel Barrymore who would suggest to MGM that Clark be screen tested. This testing though ended up poorly as Irving Thalberg did not feel he was fit for acting. This did not stop Clark because he would eventually land the co-acting role along side Joan Crawford in the 1931 film entitled Dance, Fools, Dance.

He would then follow in a role on the film Red Dust where his on-screen chemistry with his co-star made him popular and an instant hit. Gable and MGM would then get into a small spat over a role which he actively refused and as a punishment they sent him over to Columbia Pictures to work for less money. The film It Happened One Night ended up advancing his career even further when he took home an Oscar for his role in it.

MGM did not want to lose their star so they asked Clark to return where he acted in the films Gone with the Wind and Mutiny on the Bounty. Shortly after this though, his wife and mother-in-law would die in a plane accident and Clark Gable left Hollywood. He would even eventually sign up to the Army Corps to due his duty in World War II.

Upon returning, he attempted a comeback appearance in the film Adventure but this did not turn out so well. MGM felt he was being paid too much and cancelled his contract.

He would make other films, however most of these would go unnoticed until the 1961 movie Misfits. Before the film’s release and the birth of his first son, Clark Gable would die of a heart attack.

On January 18th of 1904, Cary Grant was brought into this world in Horfield, Bristol with a birth name of Archibald Alexander Leach. His childhood was to be considered average for that of a middle class family in the UK, but at the age of 9, tragedy stuck his family as his mother become mentally ill and had to be institutionalized. At the age of 14, he would leave school in order to join up with a troupe of comedians led by Bob Pender.

With Bob Pender, Cary was able to develop a number of entertainment talents like pantomime as ell as acrobatics which would become useful later on. All over England the troupe toured and while he was enjoying it, he felt he was destined for something more. His luck quickly changed and along with 6 others from the group (7 boys in total), he was sent off to Broadway to be part of the musical entitled Good Times.

Tired of the Broadway scene and wanting something more, he left the troupe and made his way out to California. After changing his name to Cary Grant, he got himself a screen test with the Paramount studios and was chosen for a part in the movie This is the Night. The movie was released a year later in 1932.

Mae West fell in love with Cary grant and his on-screen charm made him the perfect choice for her movies. Within a year, Cary Grant was in the movie ‘I’m No Angel’ as well as ‘She Done Him Wrong’. However it would not be until 1935 that he was to appear in the movie ‘Sylvia Scarlett’ and finally get his big break along side his co-star, Katherine Hepburn.

Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant made the perfect on-screen duo. It was in 1937 that his contract with Paramount expired and as was customary at the time he chose not to resign with any one studio but rather pick and chose the movies he would star in. It was with Katherine at his side that Cary would create some of the best comedies of his career.

When Cary turned 62, he decided that it was time to retire from the filming industry and become both a father as well as a husband. While he may not have been the best when it comes to staying married, as is evident by the 5 different marriages, he did live a full life filled with many great memorable achievements. On November 29th of 1986, Cary Grant died of a stroke and left behind a legacy that still lives on today.

Each and every single year, the annual Grammy Awards are hosted as a means of honoring the best and brightest starts in the recording industry. These awards were originally know as the Gramophone Awards when started by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. These annual awards are held every February and currently cover roughly 20 genres and over a hundred categories.

You will see categories like the Artist of the Year or even the biggest Newcomer to the recording industry. There are just so many great categories in which a recording artist can actually win an award, or even several of them. In order to win though, voting has to take place and on this voting committee you will see infamous names like Jon Bon Jovi and even Prince.

Based on their expertise, more then 150 people in the recording industry are selected every year to have the honor of selecting and reviewing all of the artists and all of the categories. Though this committee, the nominees for every award are chosen and then passed on to the voting committee who keeps their selections a secret until the day of the awards. The works that are taken into consideration every year has to be released after October 1st two years prior with anything after October 1st of the previous year having to wait until the following years annual Grammy Awards.

Most people recall the years that the Grammy Awards were held in the Shrine Auditorium; this is the same location where the Oscars are held every year. But over time the Grammy Awards has grown to include so many categories that hosting them in the auditorium was impossible and as a result they had to move the venue to its new home at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

When it comes to attending the Grammy Awards, everyone has to pay for their seats including those who have been nominated for an award. These seats have been steadily increasing in prices over the years with the most recent ceremony costing more then $2,000 per seat. Attending the official post part also costs money even if you win and those tickets have to be paid in advanced as well. One of the benefits though is a cool gift bag that is filled with things like jewelry, CDs and a whole lot more.

For more then 50 years, the Grammy Awards have been honoring those in the recording industry. Since 1971 though, every ceremony has been broadcasted as a live televised event. While it was originally broadcasted on ABC, CBS now has the rights for airing this annual honoring of recording artists.

While the Grammy Awards have continued to be the largest ceremonies for the recording industry worldwide, there have also been a number of complaints about their processes. Some people insist that the awards focus only on the mainstream artists who are signed with major recording labels. While at the same time other also insists that the recording industry; meaning those who are members of the RIAA have been influencing the votes to improve sales.
