Patrick Dempsey, now 58 years old, has had a successful career, confirming the tenacity often attributed to those born under the sign of Capricorn. His breakthrough in acting came relatively late, at 39, with the highly successful American medical drama "Grey's Anatomy." This success not only brought him fame but also financial fortune, enabling him to pursue a long-held dream of becoming a race car driver.
