In the 1990s, actor and movie mogul Tyler Perry was living in Atlanta, trying to stage the play that would get him famous, “I Know I’ve Been Changed.” After using up all of his savings, he became homeless, on and off for a period of 6 years, living in his car, or as he as he told Oprah, living in a “pay-by-the-week hotel that was full of crackheads.” In 1998, his hard work paid off when “I Know I’ve been Changed” became a hit, setting Perry on the path to stardom.
