Kate Winslet — a sales assistant at the grocery store
Before becoming a movie star, Kate Winslet worked at a delicatessen. Once, she was making a turkey sandwich for one of the customers and suddenly got a call where she was informed that she landed a role on Heavenly Creatures. The future Titanic star was so stunned that she immediately left her workplace without finishing the sandwich.
I thought it was illegal to hire children before the age of 14. Acting and singing with a contract is NOT the same as an actual company hiring.
