At this stage almost everyone has probably come across Ted Williams, the man with the golden voice. A homeless man who was once a radio DJ, but then fell on some hard times. His recent rise to stardom has been meteoric to say the least, but how many other people are there out there who have been homeless and then have achieved celebrity and fame, far more than you think.
Halle Berry
Jim Carrey
Charlie Chaplin
Daniel Craig
Benjamin Franklin
Kelsey Grammar
Cary Grant
David Letterman
Dr. Phil
Jim Morrison (I think every one would have assumed that he was homeless at some point)
George Orwell
Joan Rivers
William Shatner
Martin Sheen
Sylvester Stallone
Hillary Swank
Jean-Claude Van Damme
The list is actually a lot longer and there are many more famous people who, at some time in their lives spent some time on the streets, in the back of a car, or in a cardboard box. So if you are feeling down on your luck in these recessionary times remember things can change. Spare change. Equals more change. Equals life change. Equals home. Just don't make the mistake and go around in a circle and end up homeless again. That happened to me once.
