Madonna

在成为世界级偶像之前,麦当娜一定在柜台后面“引领风骚”,因为她曾在位于纽约时代广场的甜甜圈连锁店做柜员。

Johnny Depp

And odd job for an odd man.

在《剪刀手爱德华》、《加勒比海盗》和《艾德。伍德》等片中有着奇异冒险经历的德普曾一度以卖笔为生。

Amy Adams

Amy Adams may be known for playing the innocent characters in movies like "Enchanted," "Doubt" and "The Muppets," but she her past job wasn't all that sweet. The actress earned money as a Hooters girl.
