What is your favorite celebrity-lifetime story arc? (lemmy.world)

For example, my runner-up is Ice-T: A notorious gangster rapper and "Cop Killer" singer currently in his 25th year in the role of CSI detective for the NYPD.
My top spot goes to Snoop Dogg: notorious gangster rapper and marijuana enthusiast who is now besties with Martha Stewart and in demand for cameo voice-overs in children's programming.

Of course, if schadenfreude is your thing, there's legendary comedian-cum-rapist monster Bill Cosby, or the recent falls of any number of the now mask-off nazis permeating the media.....

So, what is your favorite real-person character arc?

Julia Child

Beloved by many for sharing her joy of cooking to over 4 decades. Positively influential on bringing culturally elevated cuisines into anyone's home kitchen.

He's not a CSI detective. Law and Order SVU is different

I love that Ice-T just found a steady gig but has continued putting out Body Count albums even as he's closing in on 70.

King of opposite what you asked, I was just talking to my wife about Kelly Clarkson's career the other day. Plucked from obscurity in the first season of American Idol, shot to stardom, now hosting daytime talk show. The woman has an incredible voice and can sing anything. It just makes me kind of sad that her talent is so underutilized.

this is a good question ; I'll have to think about it, but first to come to mind are Navalny, Queen Elizabeth, Jane Goodall, & Pope Francis.

Navalny

Is this a joke?

that's some powerful propaganda you have there 🧐

why not link to a valid source of info?
