FAMOUS PEOPLE BIOGRAPHIES



Eddie Murphy


by Aleksandar Gajic


Eddie was born on the 3rd of April 1961 in New York in the USA

Murphy’s comic talent was evident from an early age, and by 15 he was writing and performing his own pieces at youth centers and local bars.

Murphy began his more serious comedy career at the young age of 19. He later starred in many comedies including the Beverly Hills Cop series, for which he was recognised by receiving a Golden Globe nomination for best actor.The last film that he took part in was Shreck 3 where he lent his voice to the Donkey, and it has been announced that he will do the same in track 4.

I admire him because he is a very funy actor and his films are perfect, especially Beverly Hills Cop.

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles (born September 4, 1981 in Houston, Texas) is an American R&B and pop singer, actress, and chief songwriter, and producer in the group Destiny's Child.

Knowles is usually referred to by her first name only, Beyoncé, which is now her stage name, but has come to be called Beyoncé Knowles by many in the media.

Beyonce has recorded more than ten albums.
The most popular album is Dangerously in Love.
• Released: June 24, 2003

Since 2002, Knowles has dated rapper Jay-Z. The couple have never publicly discussed their relationship. Knowles has stated that she believes that not publicly discussing their relationship has helped them. Jay-Z has said in a People magazine article that "we don't play with our relationship".

I admire her because she is very successful. She has recorded many albums and I like how she looks.



FAMOUS PEOPLE BIOGRAPHIES

AMY LEE


-by Milica Drajić

Lee was born to parents John Lee, a disc jockey and tv personality, and Sara Cardill. She has one brother, Robby, and two sisters, Carrie and Lori. Lee had a third sister, who died in 1987. Lee took classical piano lessons for nine years. Her family moved to many places, but finally settled in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Evanescence started. She graduated from Pulaski Academy and also briefly attended Middle Tennessee State University.

Lee has a recognizable neo-goth style, marked by her occasional use of gothic make-up and taste for Victorian-styled clothing.

Amy Lee mosty performs with Evanescence, but she has some other projects as well. On Korn's last release MTV Unplugged: Korn, Lee sang "Freak on a Leash". The song is also the first single from the album and was released to television and radio in early February 2007.

I like Amy Lee because she refuses to imitate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. Of course, I like her because she is an excellent singer.
