Eddie Murphy
Actor, Comedian
Eddie Murphy is a comedian, actor and singer. He’s known for his time on Saturday Night Live, and his movies roles, including the 48 Hours series, the Beverly Hills Cop series, Bowfinger, Norbit, The Nutty Professor series, Coming to America, Vampire in Brooklyn, Shrek, Boomerang, Harlem Nights, Daddy Day Care, Tower Heist, Dreamgirls, and The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
In 1989, an actress sued Murphy for sexual harassment, alleging that he fired her from the cast of Harlem Nights after she spurned his sexual advances. Murphy denied the allegations and said to Rolling Stone magazine, “realistically speaking, if you’re gonna be a sleaze and try to fuck somebody, you try to fuck em before you give ’em the part.”
