Ladies all over the world wish that one day they would look like Hollywood celebrities. Since they are considered the modern goddess of beauty, elegance, feminine, and also money, some might imitate them.

However, has anyone ever asked himself about the real life of those celebrities, and what tragedies they might have gone through? I believe not much, as we always see the bright side of them.

Here are some extracts of four celebrities life that one would think they are actually ready scripts for a dramatic movie.

Charlize Theron

The "Italian job" star is one of the most famous and beautiful actresses and producers in Hollywood and the highest paid ones as of 2019. She had received several awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe.

Theron led unstable early life. She was raised in an alcoholic father's farm in South Africa, who had been shot by her mother in defense of herself and her daughter.

Dreaming of being a ballet dancer, she attended the Joffrey Ballet School, but she quickly lost her dream because of a knee injury at the age of 19.

Theron then went to Los Angeles, where her life was so harsh. She lived in a cheap hotel for several months, and she was almost starving for shortage of money.

In 1995, when she was cashing a $500 cheque sent from her mother, the bank teller refused, what made Theron mad. She started a big scandal she could have been awarded an Oscar in that moment. But what happened is that the famous producer John Crosby noticed her. Recognizing her talent, Crosby helped her to enter an acting school, and after three year she starred in The Devil’s Advocate with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, her break-out film.

Rose McGowan

An actress, model, feminist activist, and an author, who was born in Italy to an American family. Her father was the manager of the Italian chapter of the sect known as The Children of God that prohibited any contact with the outside world.

Rose's father decided to run away with his family, when the organizer of the sect wanted to involve the children in the sexual chaotic relationship it encouraged.

Upon returning to the United States, the parents got porced. When Rose was 14 years, she was sent to a clinic, after one of her mother's lovers decided to get rid of her by convincing the mother that she is a drug-addict. Rose managed to escape to live with her grandmother.

At the age of 16, Rose worked in different jobs, while living with her boyfriend. She worked as a waitress, a cashier, and an employee. Then, she became homeless, when her boyfriend died. After she became a famous actress, Rose went through another tragedy, when her appearance was altered as a result of a wrong medical procedure, during an operation to correct a lifelong sinus problem.

Demi Moore

An American actress and a film producer, who became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood in the nineties. Moore did not know her biological father. Her family moved many times because of the unstable work of her stepfather, who lost all of his money gambling.

When she was a child, Moore wore braces; she suffered from strabismus, what forced her to wear big glasses, causing her to deal with constant bullying from her classmates. This was ultimately corrected by two operations. She later suffered also from Kidney dysfunction.

At the age of 16, Moore left her home forever. She got married to the singer Freddy Moore, when she was 18 and began to use Freddy's surname as her stage name.

Marilyn Monroe

People all over the world know Marilyn Monroe as an actress, model, and a singer. She is an iconic figure and a major sex-symbol in the 1950's. But some might not know much about her tragic life; the life of Norma Jeane.

Monroe never knew her father identity. Her mother was mentally and financially unable to take care of her, so she was adopted by a foster family. When she was 7, her mother managed to stabilize her life. She took Monroe back, but again she had a complete mental breakdown diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic.

She was committed to a state mental hospital for the rest of her life, rarely have contact with her daughter Monroe.

Monroe spent the next nine years between foster homes and orphanage, until she got married at the age of 16, in order to be able to start a new independent life.

She worked in an aircraft plant. After two years, she met the army photographer David Conover who asked her to pose some photos. Then she started a new career in a modeling agency, which was the first step in her new life as a famous actress.

The famous Monroe led a very tragic life- she got porced three times and had a miscarriage twice. Being unable to sleep well, she had to stay always in dark rooms and take sleeping pills. In 1962, Monroe took her life to put an end for the endless tragedy she was leading.
