In the spirit of the hot new movie,
Fast and Furious 7, coming out into theaters I figured we could reminisce on one truly great actor. Paul William Walker. Being one of the main characters in all
The Fast and Furious series, it was hard to see him go. He was loved by many family members, and adored by many fans. Having such a bright future we would have never thought he would have left so soon.
Life as a child brought him into the world of acting. Walker's mother, Cheryl, was a model when she was younger. She gave birth to Walker when she was a younger women, and married his father, Paul Walker III, as well. When Cheryl had gave birth to Paul she decided to go back into modeling. As Walker puts it, "I guess I just found myself doing commercials among other things as well." His other four siblings did the same thing following in his footsteps.

| Paul and his daughter Meadow |
After Paul had finished high school he wanted to go to college. He attended many different community colleges as he was trying to make his way into becoming an actor. Walker saw that all his friends were gradating with different degrees so he took some time off. He was working at the Chart House while he was taking time off. Walker said, "It was just by chance, that his guy tracked me down and remembered me from when I was a kid." So, with that, the man had Walker do a reading for a show called Touched by an Angel. Walker had gotten the part. He was also in The Young and the Restless.

| Paul and Vin Diesel |
Walkers had his biggest role after he did all of his other short jobs was in 2001. Back in 2001, Walker was one of the lead roles in The Fast and the Furious. Two years later he was in the second movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. Walker became a household name that millions knew. After that of course Walker played in the rest of The Fast and Furious series.
Now to his tragic death that left millions devastated back on the day of November 30, 2013. Walker was in Santa Clarita, California on his way to go to a charity event. He was in the passengers seat while his friend, Roger Rodas, was driving the Porsche making their way to the event. Rodas had lost control while he was driving and crashed into a tree. Going around 100 mph the impact was so heavy that the car was basically consumed into flames; killing both Walker and Rodas at the scene of the accident. Walker had died at the age of 40 leaving behind his only child, Meadow Rain Walker.

| Vin Diesel and his daughter Pauline |
In 2013 he was actually working on the movie Furious 7. He had finished Brick Mansions before his death. Being loved by so many, at the end of the movie of Furious 7 he had a part dedicated to him. Vin Diesel who began as a co-worker to Walker became one of his beloved friends. Diesel had named his daughter Pauline in memory of Paul back in March 2015. Walker will certainly never be forgotten, and will forever be in the hearts of millions around the world. Rest in peace Paul, you were a light in many of our hearts; we will certainly see you again.
As her years went on for acting she decided to try something new, so she wrote books. Her first book is The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body. Cameron said she didn't want children and marriage isn't something she really wanted in one of her interviews, but that obviously changed. Cameron is a newlywed with Benji Madden. Madden is a vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer. I love Cameron and her acting skills, and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us in the future!
