There must be well-known celebrities and charity workers in America who are famous but did not SEEK to become celebrities, but got noteriety through doing good, honest things for their community.
In Australia, we only get self-absorbed, stupid American celebrities like Paris Hilton...there must be honest, hard-working Americans out there who didn't ask to be famous....

An example of a modest 'celebrity' is the late Dr. Victor Chang, Australian heart surgeon. So they do exist, 'mate'.

You wouldn't know them if I told you their name. Do you want a short synopsis of such an American? It would still be prohibitively long for this forum. Or do you want the name of a "celebrity" who we can all identify? Well we know from scientific data that celebrities rate much higher in studies of narcissistic disorders, so that's kind of unfair as an example. Are you genuinely interested in something that can't be answered or do you have an immodest motive?

The Common People, they are also the most active & commited philantrophist. They sacrfice their Lives, the lives of their children, time, money, asspirations, marriages, dignity,Libety, and pursuit of happiness to name a few.
They sacrifice Common Sense by voting for people who, will never sacrfice as they, get more paid time off, never go bankrupt, be on welfare or unemployment, never be concerned about Medicare or SSI or homelessness, never worry about a pension for a few years work.

many famous ppl never asked to be famous.. it was through hard work that they did become famous... it i s the american dream... ppl who were born in poor neighbor can grow up to be the most famous people.. look at oprah winfrey.. and she is rich and famous but still remains modest , humble and one of the most influencial women in the world.

Nurses, teachers, stay-at-home parents, soldiers. . . It's hard to name names because part of being humble and quiet-achieving means not necessarily getting your name in any papers.

Sounds like you might be generalising a bit mate. I am sure like any culture there are probably many, but if they are humble we would never hear about them, thats what makes them humble.
