But it all changed late in her high school career when she began to work hard trying to shed of her skinny frame and finally decided to become a model. With lots of determination and courage Tyra has achieved her goal.

After that she tried to escape her sex-bomb image, by playing the role of a wife in 'Intersection' in 1994, which got limited response.

In 1994, she combined with Sylvester Stallone in the explosive action movie 'The Specialist' which got huge response. Her next movie 'The Quick and the Dead' in 1995 which she also produced proved less commercially. Sharon was terrific in 'Western duds'. Her next venture 'Sam Raimi' was a disaster.

She returned with a bang in 'Casino' in the year of 1995 where her performance was highly applauded and greeted. This highly paid sexy bombshell then started her own production company, 'Chaos', and signed a deal with Miramax. The next film was a remake of the classic 'Diabolique'.

But she took on acting and also helped her neighbor Nastassja Kinski in rehearsing parts.

With an appearance on stage Demi began her acting career. She won a Theatre World Award in 1981 for her role in 'The Early Girl'. Then she went on to appear in the opera 'General Hospital' in the 1982/ 83 season, 'Choices' in 1981, 'Parasite' and 'Young Doctors In Love' in 1982. Her next character, in 'Blame It On Rio' in 1984, got her the focus she needed, and this led her to a lead role in 'No Small Affair' and an important breakthrough in St. Elmo’s 'Fire' in 1985.

She then came into the limelight for her unfortunate addiction towards cocaine. But a strong determination combined with a strong mind helped her to get away from this deadly habit. In the year 1986 she appeared in films like 'Wisdom', 'One Crazy Summer', and 'About Last Night'. The following year Moore married TV actor Bruce Willis after leaving her fiancé Emilio Estevez. In 1989, she also appeared in one of the episode of his hit TV series 'Moonlighting'. Then she followed with films like 'The Seventh Sign' and 'We’re No Angels', but it took her another long year before she made the Hollywood A-list and with 1990's 'Ghost' she acquired a Golden Globe nomination.

The following decade she became the mother of three daughters, appeared in some high profile nude poses on covers of Vanity Fair, television appearances and achieved the 'Best Dressed' and 'Most Beautiful' titles. Apart from acting she was also behind the camera roles in a stream of movies and also helped them financially like 'Nothing But Trouble', 'Mortal Thoughts' which she co produced, 'The Butcher’s Wife' in 1991, 'A Few Good Men' in 1992, 'Indecent Proposal' in 1993 for a MTV Movie, People’s Choice, ShoWest awards, 'Disclosure' in 1994 'Now and Then' which she produced, 'The Scarlet Letter' in 1995 where her daughter Tallulah also appeared, 'The Juror' for a People’s Choice award, 'Striptease' in 1996 for a Razzie award for the worst actress, (her daughter Rumer also appeared), 'Deconstructing Harry' in 1997, 'GI Jane' which she produced, 'Destination Anywhere' in 1997 and the 'Austin Powers movies' in 1997 and 1999 which also she produced.

The 5' 5', very talented hoarse voiced Moore also gave her eloquence to animated films. In 1999 Moore also became an editor by accepting the assignment for the millennium issue of Marie Claire magazine. She then went on to appear in 'Basic Instinct 2' and 'Passion of Mind'.

Moore is one of those rare personalities that have risen to the top of her profession with a strong will power that is respected by all.

When he was eight years old he started for Ridgeway Rovers and scored more than a hundred goals over three seasons for his team in the Enfield District League. Then he was signed by Manchester United to their youth training program when he was only 14 years of old. Other than him, his youth team featured the Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers. They all later on went to play for England under David's captaincy.

He has got the outstanding ability to lift the ball over the 'wall' and send it towards the far post, but at the last moment bend it back towards the near post thus confusing the keeper and making the ball just dip under the bar for a wonderful goal. He was the sensation that England people needed desperately to raise their hopes of winning the World Cup the second time.

David scored his first goal for England on June 26 1998 at the Stade Felix-Bollaert in Lens in the 2-0 victory against Colombia during the World Cup. Like other great players his temperament was not that great. It was proved once again against Argentina in France when a moment of rash anger on Diego Simeone made him receive a red card.

He got engaged to 'Posh Spice' Victoria Adams (part of the British Pop group the Spice Girls) on 25th January, 1998. Then his first Son Brooklyn Joseph Beckham was born.

The couple named their son 'Brooklyn' because he was conceived in Brooklyn on 5th March 1999. He became the father of his second child son Romeo on September 1, 2002. The baby weighed 7lbs 4oz. Most recently he had his third child.

Alicia Silverstone was born on October 4, 1976 at San Francisco, California to the couple of Monty Silverstone, a real estate investor and Didi Silverstone a former flight attendant. She has got a sister named Davit Silverstone and brother Kezi who is a rock singer. As a child she was brought up in England and having a Jewish up-bringing in the San Francisco bay area. Alicia Silverstone got into modeling with a series of swimsuit shots at the tender age of six years. The photographer was her dad then. After nine years the teenager got many commercials of her own.

She was a blonde bombshell on-screen due to her natural charming charisma combined with her innocence. She then turned to acting. She got a role in the movie 'McBain' in the year 1991 and was followed by a guest appearance on TV’s 'The Wonder Years' in the year 1992. The male viewers were totally overwhelmed with joy when she erupted on the big screen. Alicia's early professional ventures also include a Domino's Pizza commercial. She then made her stage debut at the Met Theatre playing a cocaine addict in 'Carol's Eve' in Los Angeles but her real big break came in the year 1993 where she got the lead role in the film, 'The Crush' which also starred Cary Elwes. This made her appear in three Aerosmith music videos later which really boosted her popularity and confidence. Then she went on to acquire roles in a couple of TV movies alongside recognizable actors such as Raquel Welch and Tyne Daly. She finally found worldwide recognition and fame starring as Cher in the hit sitcom, 'Clueless' after a series of moderately successful movies like 'Judith Krantz’s Torch Song', 'Scattered Dreams' in 1993 and 'The Cool and the Crazy' in 1994. She also appeared in the successful Aerosmith videos 'Cryin', 'Amazing and Crazy' (a MTV All-Time Favorite) and this made Silverstone transfer back to the big screen. The year of 1995 was a big year for the talented actress with roles in 'Hideaway', 'Le Nouveau Monde', 'True Crime', 'The Babysitter'. She repeatedly turned down her role in 'The Babysitter' until all nudity was removed from the script because she was very adamant about her no nudity policy in her films. For 'Clueless' she achieved a National Board of Review Outstanding Newcomer award, an American Comedy Award and two MTV movie awards.

Then Columbia Pictures went onto sign a multi-million dollar deal with Alicia giving her the opportunity to produce several films beginning with the 'Excess Baggage' which also starred Alicia herself. The name of her production company is First Kiss Productions. But the response of this film was poor at the box office. Then she starred in 'Batman and Robin' in 1997 but she found the role less challenging than she would have liked. This film also did not work out for her but with 'Blast from the Past' (1999) and a singing and dancing debut in 'Love’s Labors Lost' in the year 2000 the actress was again making headlines for an off-camera affair with her director although this affair was denied by each of them. She also starred in 'Stand By Your Man' which Silverstone co-produced, and 'Breakers'.

Alicia has always been a down to earth woman with a strong willpower and hopes to remain like this in her near future.
