It seems that there is nothing Ashely Judd hasn’t done. Focusing on a single profession must not have been easy for her as she was always drawn to different interests and changing schools as a result.
While trying to make it in Hollywood, Judd worked as a hostess at the Ivy restaurant, where she greeted celebrities who didn’t know they were facing a star in the making. This busy lady’s record also includes a period of service in the Peace Corps and several degrees. When did she have the time?
Rooney Mara: Camp Counselor
Rooney Mara is an award-winning actress who rose to fame in the film, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". She did not think she would end up in the world of acting, and when we saw that she used to be a camp counselor, we were surprised too.
Mara has three notable degrees—psychology, international policy, and nonprofits. With her past as a camp counselor and her degrees, we would expect her life's work to be leading an NGO for underprivileged children, rather than acting.
Sarah Silverman: Mexican Restaurant
Sarah Silverman is one of the most divisive figures in comedy. With her jokes revolving around confrontational topics such as politics, and religion, the actress and comedian has managed to agitate people in both left and right political circles.
Silverman has acted in various films, such as "School of Rock", and "Wreck-It Ralph". Before she became a comedy sensation with a prolific career, Silverman worked as a waitress at a Mexican restaurant called La Cantina, serving guacamole to however paid for it.
Ellen Pompeo: Bartender
When you are an actress in a long-running television show, it comes as no surprise that your net worth has already passed the $35 million mark. This is especially true if you are Ellen Pompeo, who allegedly receives $300,000 per "Grey's Anatomy" episode.
Prior to her success as a TV star, Pompeo mixed drinks and made cocktails as a bartender, which would hardly result in similar net worth or worldwide recognition.
Chelsea Handler: Morton's Steakhouse
If you aren’t familiar, Chelsea Handler is an American stand-up comedian, actress, author, and late-night talk show host. She is also a former waitress, which is pretty hard to imagine. Handler is known for her snarky attitude, which is usually frowned upon when you wait tables. She had a short stint of doing just that at a Morton's Steakhouse.
Handler later performed as a comedian all across the nation and is probably most famous for being the host of the popular show "E!". When you're a waitress, a bad attitude usually means bad tips. But as a comedian, it is the exact opposite.
