  14. One night in 1987, when the 25-year-old Jim Carrey was a struggling Canadian comic trying to make his name in Los Angeles, he drove his old Toyota up to Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood hills. Sitting there and dreaming of the future, Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million. He dated it Thanksgiving 1995 and added the notation, "for acting services rendered." By the time 1995 actually rolled around, his rambunctious goofball roles in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Dumb & Dumber" had yielded worldwide grosses of $550 million, and superstar's asking price was up to $20 million per picture. But by that time, Carrey no longer had the check anyway -- in July 1994, he had slipped it into his father's pocket as he lay in his coffin.
