Good things come to those who wait
January 13th, 2010
Excerpt from Madison Magazine December 2009
JK Rowling
JK has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, yet single mother Joanne Kathleen Rowling almost gave up on her first novel Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone when it was rejected by around a dozen publishers before British publishing house Bloomsbury paid just £2500 (around $4500) for the manuscript. The Harry Potter series has since been translated into 67 languages and Rowling’s seventh instalment, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, sold 11 million copies in its first 24 hours.
Martin Scorsese
It took 26 years, six best director and two best screenplay nominations before the American film director took the Oscar for best director in 2007 for his film The Departed. He received the award to a standing ovation before saying: “Could you double-check the envelope?”
Coco Chanel
Genius she may have been, but Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel was 30 when she opened her first fashion boutique and 42 when she created the “little black dress” – the design classic which would cement her reputation as the all-time great couturier.
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Californian rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers shot to fame in 1991 with their classic album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. At the time, the band seemed to burst on to the music scene – new, fresh and overnight. In fact, they’d been playing backwoods LA clubs for almost 10 years and their first album, released in 1984, received scant exposure beyond college radio stations. Since then, the band has gone on to win multiple Grammys and sell over 50 million albums.
Tina Fey
She makes it look so effortless, but it has taken more than 10 years of hard graft as a comedy writer, one NBC show (30 Rock) and that impersonation of Alaskan Governor Sarah Palm to turn plain old Elizabeth Stamatina Fey into the 39-year-old white-hot-comedy-icon she is today.
