Many people have a hard time separating movies from the real world and some people assume the character is that person in real life Denzel Washington is the first African American male to win an Academy Award for the Best Male Actor category. Washington won this award for his role as Detective Alonzo Harris in the movie Training Day. Surprisingly, this role was one of Washington's most ill-mannered, profane, selfish, and malicious characters. This was definitely the "bad guy" role for Washington and this is the film that won him an Academy Award. The irony in this situation is Denzel has played the good guy for so long that his acting talents were only recognized by the Academy when he played the stereotypical black male role, which is the ignorant, greedy, street thug.
Michael Jackson: A Star Among Stars Michael Jackson is the biggest pop star of the 80s, and is one of the most popular musi-cians of all time.

They all tried to make it seem like Jay was a terrible man, when really, all he ever wanted was to be accepted by everyone. The one thing I will remember most about Jay was the amount of generosity he had. I’m not just talking about the endless nights of parties he had for people to be entertained and have a good time, however. Jay was one of the wealthiest men I ever knew, but he didn’t flaunt it like the other wealthy people I have known throughout my life. Jay didn’t spend his money on himself, and spoil himself with extravagant things.
You gotta be able to leave your head without drugs." Judging from the eye-rolling and mild disgust that greeted the tragic images of the late Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty (both of whom were far more famous for taking drugs than for making music under their spell), Adolf isn't alone in balking at rock's reputation for intoxication.
