  LEONARDO DICAPRIO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio is an American actor and film producer known for his work in biographical and period films. His career began in the late 1980s, with early roles in television before his film debut in 1991. He received critical acclaim for his role in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) and achieved international stardom with Titanic (1997). DiCaprio sought roles in other genres to shed his romantic hero image, including Catch Me If You Can (2002) and Gangs of New York (2002). He founded Appian Way Productions in 2004. He is also an active environmentalist and was designated a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2014. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Leonardo DiCaprio's parents met in college and moved to Los Angeles after graduating. His mother is German, and his father is of Italian and German descent. 
    
  As a child, DiCaprio wanted to be either a marine biologist or an actor, eventually choosing acting because he liked imitating people and seeing their reactions. He was also motivated to learn acting when another child actor earned $50,000 from a commercial. 
    
  DiCaprio has said his first television appearance was on the children's series Romper Room, where he claims he was dismissed for being disruptive, though the show's host has denied this. At age 11, he almost quit acting to pursue breakdancing, having taken second place in a competition in his mother's native Germany. 
    
  Early in his career, DiCaprio's agent suggested he change his name to Lenny Williams to appeal to American audiences, but he refused. He remained jobless for a year and a half, even after 100 auditions, and almost quit acting before his father encouraged him to persevere.

  Stacey pulls back the curtain on her life with humor, grace, and raw honesty, diving into everything from the messy, beautiful moments of motherhood to the complicated love of self-acceptance. With a healthy dose of wit and a sprinkle of sass, she proves that even in the most chaotic chapters, there’s always room for a little laughter—and a lot of grace.

Stacey’s voice will remind you that even in your darkest moments, you're still worthy of love—and a really strong cup of coffee. 
  “I Wear My Cape Under My Dress” is more than a story of survival—it’s a reminder that sometimes, being a superhero is just about showing up with your messy hair, your coffee-stained shirt, and a heart that’s still willing to love. 
  So buckle up. It’s going to be a wild ride—and there will be laughter along the way. (And maybe a few tears, too. But mostly laughter.)

  Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Thus began a journey toward decluttering her home, calendar, and soul. 
   
   
   
  With empathy, grace, and humor, Crawford—who curates the popular Abundant Life with Less site—shares doable ways to own less and live more fully. Laying out practical strategies for reducing waste, curbing consumption, decluttering, and finding lots more joy, Crawford offers no-nonsense solutions for the rest of us. Learn to become a more conscious consumer, create a capsule wardrobe, inspire family members to join you, free up more time for the things that matter, and create a tidy(ish) home. The messy minimalist way is a no-judgment zone, one in which we learn sustainable habits and grace-based practices. It's about living lightly on the earth and making room for purpose. 
   
   
   
  Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. It's about carrying fewer things so that we find ourselves holding onto what truly matters.

  Five Coimbra Poets

  Dinis Dom, Sá de Miranda, Antero...

  Five Coimbra Poets takes historical contingency—the accident—as a pretext that would seem to unify profoundly different poetical voices from diverse centuries. Its chronological range is ample, starting in late medieval Portugal with Dom Dinis and ending with Fernando Assis Pacheco in the last half of the 20th century. To this historical contingency a contingency of choices is added—an accident of choices. A dual opportunity, a dual purpose: firstly, to bring together certain poets who were either born or lived in Coimbra and who were touched in a way—more or less asymmetrically, more or less explicitly—by the city, by the surrounding countryside and the region; secondly, to offer up poets and poems, some more canonical than others, whose occasion here reflects a personal and subjective choice that is tailored towards both initiation and concision.
  Dom Dinis and Sá de Miranda are joined by the two 19th century poets who most marked the memory of literature which the city keeps alive and which the poems themselves keep alive of the city. Both Antero de Quental and Camilo Pessanha are, in this sense, crucial. The lyrical intensity of landscape and cityscape is alive as well in Fernando Assis Pacheco, who perhaps wrote the most penetrating and moving poems about Coimbra and its worlds, which were those of his childhood, adolescence and early manhood.
