I'm glad she is growing but how is this even possible?

You're right.

But it's not just that. She has a really good personality, and she is hilarious. She's simply fun to watch and listen to- which is the only thing needed to be an entertainer.

Pam Anderson got spotted by a camera man in a stadium, he put her on the Jumbotron, and she became one of the most famous celebrities in the US.

Norma Jeane (Marilyn Monroe) was just working in a munitions factory when a photographer took her picture.

Danny Trejo was an ex-con and drug counselor who was at a film set because he was helping an actor deal with addiction, and they decided to use him as an extra.

Wasn’t Harrison Ford working as a carpenter on set or something like that?

Yeah, but interestingly prior to that he was a struggling actor. He did some work, but it wasn't panning out. So he wasn't really "discovered", more like he hung around the business until he was given a second chance. He wasn't just some random carpenter, he was more like a former actor doing carpentry on sets. But it's a similar story in that producers/directors in the industry told him he was no good and would never be a star.
