The Many Sides of Matt Damon
This I hollywood star is more than st a good actor
Matt Damon is a poster child for success with a life that
includes hit movies, a beautiful wife and three
daughters, and many well-known celebrity friends.
Yet for all of his success, Damon hasn't let fame go to
his head, and those who know him insist he's one of
Hollywood's nice guys.
The young man
Matthew Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
in 1970 to a stockbroker father and a college professor
mother. When Damon was 10, he met Ben Affleck, who
lived down the street, and they became best friends.
While attending prep school, Damon got his start in acting
by performing in several plays.
Later, he attended Harvard University for three years but
dropped out to pursue acting seriously.
The new celebrity
Damon headed to Hollywood and soon began landing small
to moderate-sized roles, but nothing brought him
much attention. Then he and Affleck finished a screenplay
Damon had begun at Harvard, which was made into the
movie Good Will Hunting. The film won the men an
Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and earned
Damon praise and recognition for his acting performance.
The film proved to be the door opener Damon needed
to get better film roles.

The Bucharest baggage carousel stopped. All of the

suitcase, checked through three flights from Seattle, had
arrived. My wife's bag, however, was a no-show.
Now What?
We visited the British Airways luggage office, provided our
baggage claim tags and waited.
We were departing on a 12-day cruise the next day.
Fortunately, our tour guide received the bag the next
morning. Travel is fraught with these kinds of potential
disasters. Here are some practical steps you can take
to prevent trouble.
Passport lost in Latvia or stolen in somalia
Passports do get stolen or lost, and it can be quite a calamity.
What to do: Visit your hoe nation's nearest embassy or
consulate with whatever identification you still have,
and apply for emergency passport replacement. If
you're stranded far from major cities, go to local police.
Even if you had all your identification stolen or lost,
you can get temporary papers. How to prevent it: Always
keep your passport in your possession. Keep it in a
zipped pocket or a front pants pocket.
Before going overseas, make photocopies of the face
pages of your passport, and store the in your luggage.
Be sure to memorize your passport number.
