This is just a topic. There's no right or wrong answers for this. So, the
question is: Who are the luckiest people in Hollywood? That is, people who
may have gotten a lucky break in a film or two.
One person that I would put on the list is: Carrie-Anne Moss from the
Matrix. She was basically a tv
I always wondered why people kept giving Kevin Costner chances after his
expensive films lost so much money. Is that the kind of luck you mean?

I listen to a local sports radio station religiously. This morning one of the
co-hosts of the morning show were outraged that six young men in their rooting
section did not remove their hats during the national anthem.
The National Exaggeration was first played during the 1918 World Series -
This was the fine line Dave Chappelle found himself unable to walk when he
walked away from a $50 million deal to continue his show on Comedy Central.

Neither Carrie Anne Moss nor Kevin Costner are lucky. They are hard-working
actors who earned and took advantage of their chances when they got them.
People with no discernible talent who get to make more than one movie are lucky.
Paulie Shore is lucky (he has FORTY credits on IMDB)

The motion to adopt Soul Finger as national anthem is seconded.

such, but never actually owned it until it was included on Jarmusch's

I thought the movie was great fun. The tone is lighter than the comic but it
actually worked to the movie's advantage. The cast was solid and Chris Evans
nearly steals the show as Jensen.

When I originally came up with the post I was thinking big breaks, but I
like where you went with this.
Paulie Shore did stand up for years and had a huge college age following
before he got his MTV gig.
Paris Hilton was just a socialite that had a buzz around her for her
appearances at parties.

Mr Worf, not a CHANCE of them embracing piracy. The big companies only see
it as a little guy taking money out of their coffers. When caught,
punishment will be as swift and severe as they can make it.
