<div>[[Image:Mel Gibson taken July-28-2006.jpg|right|thumb|Mel Gibson's mug shot, July 28, 2006.]]<br />
'''Mel Gibson''' is an [[United States|American]]-born actor who grew up in [[Australia]] and became a celebrity starring in the ''Mad Max'' and ''Lethal Weapon'' series of films. With his former wife of 30 years, Robyn, Gibson has six sons and one daughter. His eighth child, a girl named Lucia, was born on October 30, 2009, to his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/11/02/mel.gibson.baby/index.html</ref> Outspoken and passionate in his beliefs, Gibson is never at a loss for words.<br />
<br />
As a director, Gibson received a Best Director Oscar for ''Braveheart''. He reached out to a different type of audience with his 2004 depiction of the death and resurrection of [[Jesus Christ]], ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]'', which turned out to be the most successful [[Christian]] film in history, grossing over USD600 million worldwide.<ref>[http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=passionofthechrist.htm Box Office Mojo]</ref> <br />
<br />
Gibson is a traditionalist Catholic who rejects the validity and authority of the [[Second Vatican Council]] and holds the chair of [[Peter]] to be vacant. Conversely, in an interview in ''Screen International'' in 2004, he referred to Pope John Paul II as "the occupier of the Chair of Peter". In an interview in [[Time magazine|''Time'']] magazine, January 27, 2003, he blamed Vatican II for declining Church membership and the [[pedophile priest crisis]] which erupted in 2002.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
Gibson, a practicioner of [[Hollywood values]], was arrested for drunk driving in July 2006.

He asked all people, especially the [[Jew]]ish community, to help him in overcoming his [[alcohol]]ic tendencies. <br />
<br />
Although Gibson is rather quiet about his [[charity|charitable]] work, he and his family are known to be quite prolific in helping various causes that need assistance. This is especially true after the windfall of money he made from ''The Passion of the Christ''.<ref>http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/10/13/1097607264626.html?from=storyrhs</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>'''James Cameron''' is an Academy award-winning movie director from Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada. He has written and directed many immensely popular films, including:<br />
*''[[The Terminator]]''<br />
*''[[Terminator 2: Judgement day]]''<br />
*''[[Aliens]]''<br />
*''[[The Abyss]]''<br />
*''[[True Lies]]''<br />
*''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]''<br />
*''[[Avatar]]''<br />
<br />
Collectively, his films have grossed over $6 billion worldwide<ref>http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/</ref> and he ranks as one of the highest-grossing directors of all time. His 1997 film ''Titanic'' was the highest-grossing movie of all time, until he broke his own record with the 2010 film ''Avatar.''<br />
<br />
Since directing ''Titanic,'' Cameron has become an avid underwater filmographer. He also created the 2001 documentary ''Titanic: Ghosts of the Abyss,'' which used underwater cameras to explore the wreck of [[RMS Titanic]].<br />
<br />
In 2007, Cameron put together a documentary claiming an [[ossuary]] in the [[Holy Land]] could contain the bones of [[Jesus Christ]]. The work is considered to be more hype than reality.<ref>http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/02/25/tomb_arc.html?category=archaeology&guid=20070225073000 Discovery Channel News</ref><br />

<div>[[Image:Woody_Allen.jpg|thumb|200px|Woody Allen]]<br />
'''Woody Allen''' (1935 - ) was born in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]]. He is a former stand-up [[comedian]], and currently an acclaimed [[writer]], [[director]] and [[actor]]. He now lives in [[Manhattan]]. Best known for his offbeat and often self-deprecating comedies, Allen produced his most popular films in the 1970s, most notably ''Annie Hall'', which set a mold for romantic comedies that others would try to emulate. His work in the 80s and 90s changed to darker comedies. Allen's more recent films have done well at the box office, with his 2011 film ''Midnight In Paris'' earning more than any of his previous films. He considers his 2005 movie ''Match Point'' to be one of his best. Since the early '80s, Allen has made a movie a year.<br />
<br />
==Career overview==<br />
*Allen directed 14 different actors in performances that went on to be Academy Award nominated: Diane Keaton, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton, Mariel Hemingway, Michael Caine, Dianne Wiest, Martin Landau, Judy Davis, Chazz Palminteri, Jennifer Tilly, Mira Sorvino, Sean Penn, Samantha Morton and himself.

<br />
===Moral depravity of Woody Allen===<br />
In 1992 Allen's moral depravity was revealed when Mia Farrow, with whom he had a long time relationship but did not marry, discovered nude photographs taken by Allen of Farrow's then 21-year-old daughter Soon-Yi Previn, whom she had adopted as a child in Korea. Through his relationship with Farrow, Allen had known Soon-Yi since she was 9. Farrow had been unaware that Allen had seduced her daughter, and after the discovery Farrow ended her relationship with Allen. However Previn remained with Allen and she and Farrow became estranged. In 1997, Previn, then 27, and Allen, 62, were married.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9712/24/woody.weds/ Woody Allen marries Soon-Yi in Venice], [[CNN]]</ref> Allen said, regarding Farrow seeing the nude pictures of Soon-Yi that he had left out in the open, "It was just one of those fortuitous events, one of the great pieces of luck in my life."<ref>[http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2005/12/woodyallen200512?currentPage=3 Vanity Fair Online, Dec 2005]</ref> According to Farrow's biography, ''What Falls Away'', [[Frank Sinatra]] (her former husband) offered to have Allen's legs broken when the affair with Previn was discovered.<ref>Internet Movie Database [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000095/bio]</ref> He also admitted recently that he [[Nihilism|believes life to be inherently meaningless]], which is why he made the protagonists of his films hold the same views.<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2014/07/22/Woody-Allen-believes-life-is-meaningless--says-his-protagonists-views-reflect-his-own</ref><br />

===Moral depravity of Woody Allen===<br />
In 1992 Allen's moral depravity was revealed when Mia Farrow, with whom he had a long time relationship but did not marry, discovered nude photographs taken by Allen of Farrow's then 21-year-old daughter Soon-Yi Previn, whom she had adopted as a child in Korea. Through his relationship with Farrow, Allen had known Soon-Yi since she was 9. Farrow had been unaware that Allen had seduced her daughter, and after the discovery Farrow ended her relationship with Allen. However Previn remained with Allen and she and Farrow became estranged. In 1997, Previn, then 27, and Allen, 62, were married.<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/9712/24/woody.weds/ Woody Allen marries Soon-Yi in Venice], [[CNN]]</ref> Allen said, regarding Farrow seeing the nude pictures of Soon-Yi that he had left out in the open, "It was just one of those fortuitous events, one of the great pieces of luck in my life."<ref>[http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2005/12/woodyallen200512?currentPage=3 Vanity Fair Online, Dec 2005]</ref> According to Farrow's biography, ''What Falls Away'', [[Frank Sinatra]] (her former husband) offered to have Allen's legs broken when the affair with Previn was discovered.<ref>Internet Movie Database [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000095/bio]</ref> He also admitted recently that he [[Nihilism|believes life to be inherently meaningless]], which is why he made the protagonists of his films hold the same views.<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2014/07/22/Woody-Allen-believes-life-is-meaningless--says-his-protagonists-views-reflect-his-own</ref><br />

He now lives in [[Manhattan]]. Best known for his offbeat and often self-deprecating comedies, Allen produced his most popular films in the 1970s, most notably ''Annie Hall'', which set a mold for romantic comedies that others would try to emulate. His work in the 80s and 90s changed to darker comedies. Allen's more recent films have done well at the box office, with his 2011 film ''Midnight In Paris'' earning more than any of his previous films.

*Allen directed 14 different actors in performances that went on to be Academy Award nominated: Diane Keaton, Geraldine Page, Maureen Stapleton, Mariel Hemingway, Michael Caine, Dianne Wiest, Martin Landau, Judy Davis, Chazz Palminteri, Jennifer Tilly, Mira Sorvino, Sean Penn, Samantha Morton and himself. Keaton, Caine, Wiest and Sorvino won Oscars for their performances in his movies.<br />
*He made 13 movies in which he cast [[Mia Farrow]]: ''Broadway Danny Rose'' (1984), ''Crimes and Misdemeanors'' (1989), ''Hannah and Her Sisters'' (1986), ''Alice'' (1990), ''Another Woman'' (1988), ''The Purple Rose of Cairo'' (1985), ''September'' (1987), ''Husbands and Wives'' (1992), ''A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy'' (1982), ''New York Stories'' (1989), ''Radio Days'' (1987), ''Shadows and Fog'' (1992) and ''Zelig'' (1983).<br />

===Moral depravity of Woody Allen===<br />
In 1992 Allen's moral depravity was revealed when Mia Farrow, with whom he had a long time relationship but did not marry, discovered nude photographs taken by Allen of Farrow's then 21-year-old daughter Soon-Yi Previn, whom she had adopted as a child in Korea. Through his relationship with Farrow, Allen had known Soon-Yi since she was 9. Farrow had been unaware that Allen had seduced her daughter, and after the discovery Farrow ended her relationship with Allen. However Previn remained with Allen and she and Farrow became estranged.
