What is your favorite celebrity-lifetime story arc?

Original question by @SPRUNT@lemmy.world

For example, my runner-up is Ice-T: A notorious gangster rapper and "Cop Killer" singer currently in his 25th year in the role of CSI detective for the NYPD.
My top spot goes to Snoop Dogg: notorious gangster rapper and marijuana enthusiast who is now besties with Martha Stewart and in demand for cameo voice-overs in children's programming.
Of course, if schadenfreude is your thing, there's legendary comedian-cum-rapist monster Bill Cosby, or the recent falls of any number of the now mask-off nazis permeating the media.....
So, what is your favorite real-person character arc?

I really love Burt Munro's story
- What's the arc? I read the wiki article and can't figure it out.
  
  Oh they made a movie about him called The world's fastest Indian it's absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it
  
  Yeah, looks interesting, but what is the arc of his life (OP's question)?
  Looks like a guy who wanted to go fast and then did...
  
  He was an old pensioner in New Zealand and spent his days modifying and old Indian scout motorcycle. He melted down scrap and casted his own parts. There was no place in New Zealand flat enough and long enough for him to really see how fast his bike would go. He got a lot of support from the locals to raise money and was able to make the journey to the United States to go to Death Valley, where he and his old motorcycle were underestimated by all. But he crushed the land speed records (in his category) which may still be unbroken today. He was infectiously likeable and a really unexpected god of speed, the ultimate underdog
