At one point, Boy George was one of the most recognizable faces on the planet. Then came years of chaos, a quiet comeback, and suddenly...criminal charges and prison.
Robert Redford’s rise in Hollywood felt almost inevitable. With classic good looks and a quiet intensity, he quickly stood out in the 1960s film scene. But Redford was never just a pretty face.
