Over the past several decades, Meat Loaf has transformed himself into a larger-than-life figure in the entertainment industry. He has released 12 solo studio albums and has appeared in more than 100 films and television shows. Meat Loaf’s debut solo album, 1977’s “Bat Out of Hell” is one of the best-selling albums in history with sales of more than 43 million copies. The 14x Platinum album continues to sell an estimated 200,000 copies each year, more than four decades after its release, and it spent nine years on the music charts. As an actor, Meat Loaf is known for notable roles such as Eddie in the “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (1975) and Robert “Bob” Paulson in “Fight Club” (1999). In 1999, he released “To Hell and Back: An Autobiography,” and it was turned into a VH1 TV movie, “Meat Loaf: To Hell and Back,” in 2000. Early Life: Meat Loaf was born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947, in Dallas, Texas. His parents, Wilma and Orvis, owned the Griffin Grocery Company, and Wilma taught school and sang with the Vo-di-o-do Girls gospel group. Orvis, a former police officer, was an alcoholic who would sometimes disappear for days. Meat Loaf attended Thomas Jefferson High School, where he appeared in productions of “The Music Man” and “Where’s Charley?” He graduated in 1965, then enrolled at Lubbock Christian College. He later transferred to North Texas State University, but after his mother died in 1967 and left him an inheritance, he dropped out and moved to Los Angeles. Music Career: Meat Loaf’s first band, Meat Loaf Soul, debuted in 1968, opening for Them at the Cave in Huntington Beach. The band went through several lead guitarists and name changes, and in 1970, Meat Loaf was cast in a Detroit production of the rock musical “Hair.” Motown Records invited Meat Loaf and “Hair” co-star Shaun “Stoney” Murphy to record an album with them, and “Stoney & Meatloaf” was released in October 1971. He later returned to “Hair,” appearing in a Broadway production, and he met composer/lyricist Jim Steinman at an audition for Jim’s musical “More Than You Deserve.” Meat Loaf was cast in the show, and he went on to collaborate with Steinman on several albums, including “Bat Out of Hell.” In 1973, Meat Loaf landed the roles of Eddie and Dr. Everett Scott in the original L.A. production of “The Rocky Horror Show,” which ran for nine months and led to a film version in 1975. Meat Loaf began working on “Bat Out of Hell” in 1972, and his songs were rejected by several record companies before Cleveland International Records signed him to a record deal. Todd Rundgren agreed to produce and perform on the album, and it was released in October 1977, eventually becoming one of the most commercially-successful albums of all time. Meat Loaf went to release 11 more solo albums; 1993’s “Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell” was certified 5x Platinum, and “Welcome to the Neighbourhood” (1995) and “Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose” (2006) both went Platinum. His albums spawned popular singles such as “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” and “”Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.” Film and Television Career: In 1975, Meat Loaf played Eddie in the cult film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and he appeared as a musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” in 1978 and 1981.

Martin Scorsese Net Worth and Salary: Martin Scorsese is an American director, writer and producer who has a net worth of $150 million. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest living American filmmakers. Early Life and Career Beginnings: Martin Charles Scorsese was born on November 17, 1942, in New York City. More specifically, he was born in the Flushing area of the Queens borough. His family then moved to Little Italy in Manhattan. His father, Charles Scorsese, was a clothes presser and actor, and his mother, Catherine Scorsese (née Cappa), was a seamstress and actress. His parents are both of Italian descent. As a child, Scorsese suffered from severe asthma, and as a result was unable to participate in sports and many other activities. Instead, he spent his time watching films, and his parents or older brother would frequently take him to movie theaters. Martin’s success as a filmmaker may have never happened if it were not for his childhood illness. He later described his growing passion for him and the larger amounts of time he could dedicate to watching movies as an unintentional film school. He attended Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, and also attended a preparatory seminary. However, he failed out of the seminary after only a year. Abandoning his desire to became a priest, Scorsese instead enrolled in Washington Square College (now called the College of Arts and Science) at New York University (NYU), and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1964. He then continued his education at graduate school, and graduated in 1968 with an M.F.A. in film from NYU’s School of the Arts (now called the Tisch School of the Arts). While earning his M.F.A., he shot short films like “What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?” (1963) and “The Big Shave” (1967). His first feature-length film was “Who’s That Knocking at My Door” (1967), starring his fellow NYU students Harvey Keitel and Thelma Schoonmaker. Career: Through a combination of his passion for film and his experience of growing up on rough New York streets, Scorsese was inspired to direct his breakthrough feature “Mean Streets” (1973), which became the first of many collaborations with actor Robert De Niro. After the success of Mean Streets, Martin now had the money he needed to film Taxi Driver, a project which was difficult to get off the ground but which became a surprising box office success and ended up being nominated for several Oscars. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Scorsese made a name for himself directing more gritty, hard-hitting films. Notable films from this period include “Taxi Driver” (1976) and “Raging Bull” (1980), which both star Robert De Niro. “Taxi Driver” established him as a movie legend, won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for four Oscars. “Raging Bull” was based on the life of boxer Jake LaMotta, and received eight Oscar nominations. Additionally, during this period he made and released his first mainstream film, “The Color of Money” (1986), which was the sequel to Robert Rossen’s 1961 film “The Hustler”. In the 1990s, Scorsese found continued acclaim and success with his Mafia films, “GoodFellas” (1990) and “Casino” (1995), both starring De Niro. The director and actor reunited again in 2019 for the epic crime film “The Irishman”. Robert De Niro is not the only actor Scorsese has frequently collaborated with. He has also worked often and closely with Leonardo Di Caprio on five films: “Gangs of New York” (2002), “The Aviator” (2004), “The Departed” (2006), “Shutter Island” (2010), and “The Wolf of Wall Street” (2013). Additionally, in his later career Scorsese has also turned his gaze towards music, a topic he harbors an interest in. He directed the seven-part documentary series “The Blues”, the Bob Dylan documentary “No Direction Home” (2005), “Shine a Light” (2008), and “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese” (2019). As of June 2020, Scorsese has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director nine times. This makes him the most-dominated living director in history. He is second in terms of number of Academy Award nominations behind William Wyler, who received a total of 12 nominations. He finally won an Oscar for Best Director in 2006, for “The Departed”, after losing out on the award for other films like “Raging Bull” and “Goodfellas”. Scorsese is widely regarded as one of the best directors in history, and the impressive list of awards and accolades he has received includes: an Academy Award, a Palme d’Or, the Cannes Film Festival Best Director Award, a Grammy Award, and multiple Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Directors Guild of American Awards. In total, he has won more than 130 awards and been nominated for more than 200 more awards. Additionally, he has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (in 2003), as well as two fellowships. Personal Life: Scorsese has been married a total of five times. He married his first wife Laraine Marie Brennan in 1965, and they divorced in 1971; they have one daughter together. His married his second wife Julia Cameron in 1976, and the relationship ended a year later; they have one daughter together. He was married to his third wife Isabella Rossellini from 1979 to 1983. He then was married to fourth wife Barbara De Fina from 1985 to 1991. In 1999, he married his current spouse Helen Schermerhorn Morris, and they have a daughter together.
