LEO CELEBRITIES

FAMOUS MALE:

ROBERT DE NIRO

As the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo rules entertainment and the dramatic arts, which is why this sign is often found in the birth charts of great actors. It comes as no surprise, then, that brilliant actor Robert De Niro is born under the sign of Leo.

Robert has carved a niche for himself as one of the most unique and intense actors of his profession. He was trained at the Stella Adler Conservatory and first rose to fame with the film Bang the Drum Slowly (1973). But one of his best performances, which won him an Academy Award in 1974, was in The Godfather Part II. He has also received Academy Award nominations for his roles in The Taxi Driver (1976), The Deer Hunter (1978) and Cape Fear (1991).

Being in the company of a very powerful Leo is difficult, and I have heard that working with Robert can be a rather daunting experience. He is considered a master in his field and now even directs his own films. There is no doubt that Leos live and play hard. As Robert once said, ‘You’ll have time to rest when you’re dead’.

FAMOUS FEMALE:

MARTHA STEWART

Born on the 3rd of August 1941, Martha Stewart spent her youth working in a variety of fields, including modelling, catering and stockbroking. With hard work and determination, however, she quickly became a successful businesswoman, author and television personality. She was even named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in 1996.

Some people believe that Leo-born individuals are egotistical without cause, but they fail to see that many are just workaholics who strive to do their best. Like most cats and lions, which are nocturnal animals, Martha sleeps only four hours a night before waking up and getting straight to work. This is the sort of intensity that is common to many Leos.

But there is also another side to Martha. In 2004 she was convicted on four felony charges, including conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements, committing perjury and providing false statements. She was jailed for five months. This shows the obsessive side of Leo. When the Sun sign operates on the wrong side of the law, its natives will do anything to achieve their ends.

Notwithstanding all of these ups and downs, Martha made a successful comeback and was inducted into the 2011 New Jersey Hall of Fame for her services and contributions to enterprise.
