The last 3 decades have given us a lot of great TV series for any taste. While some people followed the adventures of agents Scully and Mulder in the sci-fi series The X-Files, others empathized with the characters of Downton Abbey or tried to guess who would win in Game of Thrones.

In movie history, there have been a lot of iconic characters. Some of them were fictional, while some were based on real people. It often happens that the audience associates a certain movie character with only one actor.

However, time passes, and movie directors search for new faces to portray our favorite characters.

Different magazines often make lists of the most attractive actresses in the world. Journalists and critics usually take part in creating those lists.

Moviemakers love to test viewers’ attention and hide messages and Easter eggs in their movies. Some of them reveal the past or the nature of the characters, others remind us of other movies or provide clues for the story development.

The show business world may seem quite unfriendly. There is so much competition among stars that friendship seems impossible because they have to fight for the same roles.

When you’re going to a costume party, you can dress up and wear something special. For example, you can cosplay as a celebrity. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Even stars do it!

If we saw films and TV shows without CGI and post-production, the entertainment industry would probably not be as booming as it is now.

Usually, when embarking on a new project, filmmakers will start off with an idea of which actors and actresses they would like to cast in their film. But sometimes plans abruptly change and performers give up their roles. Some do so with great reluctance, simply because they’ve been forced by other commitments. Others feel they won’t do justice to the character. But sometimes a change in the cast ends up quite beneficial, and only embellishes the final work.

To get their best roles, actors and actresses often have to walk a long and difficult path. But sometimes, they got roles due to some really unexpected reasons. Some got roles by accident, others had to convince directors, and some had a bad appearance experiment.

The movie Titanic is deservedly called a legend. It occupies the third place in the list of the highest- grossing films, and the famous My Heart Will Go On brings back memories of the story of Jack and Rose. But the movie still has many mysteries, curious facts and Easter eggs that even big fans might have missed.

It seems incredible today, but at the beginning of his career, Bruce Willis wasn’t even considered an action hero, unlike his colleagues, such as Schwarzenegger and Stallone. But his most famous role is John McClane, a brave police officer with a great sense of humor.

There are many biography movies about celebrities that tell people about their secrets and how hard it was for them to become famous and successful.
