How Did They Get Famous?


Have you ever wondered how celebrities became celebrities? Celebrities don’t just spawn out of thin air; they have to start somewhere. Every celebrity finds their break, and sometimes it is when they are 8 years old, and sometimes it is when they are 48 years old. But regardless, people seldom see where and how they actually started. I see this as an opportunity; an opportunity to find, archive, and share this knowledge with the world.

But how?

The idea is simple but I’m a strong believer in “simple is better.” My proposition is for a full dynamic website that showcases the starting point of actors, musicians, or TV personalities in show business. And I do not mean it merely has an article about how this celebrity started, rather the actual movie clip, commercial, or audition tape that made it all happen. It could be difficult to find this material of which could be dating back to the mid 1900s, but with a team of researchers and analysts, it can definitely be achieved.

Features

  • ·      Top story featured on first page: newest or trending pages
  • ·      Each page will be tagged to allow search querying
    •      Each page will have never before seen audition tapes and recordings as well as old commercials that that celebrity was featured in.
  • ·      Celebrities tabbed into categories in navigation (music, cinema, theater…)
  • ·      Ability to track up and coming actors that have been featured in commercials
  • ·      A “Where are they now?” feature: discover where a famous commercial actor has gone now
  • ·      Much more to come


Why?

There are thousands, if not millions, of aspiring actors, musicians, and TV personalities that are all looking for their break. This website is meant to 1. Help these people, allowing them to see how they could potentially get their own break and 2. Allow the commoner to fulfill his or her curiosity about celebrities and their origins.
