Steven Spielberg dropped out of college in 1968 to concentrate on his film career. In the early 2000’s, he went back to fulfill his dream and graduate, fulfilling the various correspondence courses and term papers required to obtain his degree. One of the requirements was that each Film Major must submit a finished film of at least 12 minutes in length, so Spielberg submitted Schindler’s List. During the graduation ceremony, the orchestra played the theme song from Indiana Jones as he walked across the stage.

Jackson’s films had grossed more money at the box office than any other actor in cinematic history (more than $3 billion). He has never won an Oscar.
