Mickey Rourke

relative obscurity until he won a Golden Globe Award for his role as Randy "The
Ram" Robinson in The Wrestler (2008). He was nominated for Best Actor, as well,

Henry Fonda
▪ He was born in Grand Island, Hall, Nebraska, In 1928, he headed east and briefly
played in summer stock before joining the University Players, a group of talented
Princeton and Harvard graduates among whose number were such future
luminaries as James Stewart (who would remain his closest lifelong friend),
Joshua Logan and Kent Smith. Before long, Henry played leads opposite
Margaret Sullavan, soon to become the first of his five wives. Both marriage and
the players broke up four years later. In 1932, Henry found himself sharing a two-
room New York apartment with Jimmy Stewart and Joshua Logan. For the next
two years, he alternated scenic design with acting at various repertory companies.
In 1934, he got a break of sorts, when he was given the chance to present a
comedy sketch with Imogene Coca in the Broadway revue New Faces. That year,
he also hired Leland Hayward as his personal management agent and this was to
pay off handsomely.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was born July 30, 1947, in the town of Thal,
Styria, Austria, It was time again to resurrect Arnold's most successful
franchise and, in 2003, Schwarzenegger pulled on the biker leathers for the
third time for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003). Unfortunately,
directorial duties passed from James Cameron to Jonathan Mostow and the
deletion of the character of "Sarah Connor" aka Linda Hamilton and a change
in the actor playing "John Connor" - Nick Stahltook over from
Edward Furlong - making the third entry in the "Terminator" series the
weakest to date.
Eddie Murphy
▪ Edward Regan Murphy was born April 3, 1961 in Brooklyn, New York, to
Lillian Lynch (born: Lillian Laney), a telephone operator, and Charles Edward
Murphy, a transit police officer who was also an amateur comedian and actor.
After his father died, his mother married Vernon Lynch, a foreman at a Breyer's
Ice Cream plant. His brothers are Charlie Murphy & Vernon Lynch Jr. Eddie
had aspirations of being in show business since he was a child. A bright kid
growing up in the streets of New York, Murphy spent a great deal of time on
impressions and comedy stand-up routines rather than academics. His sense of
humor and wit made him a stand out amongst his classmates at Roosevelt
Junior-Senior High School. By the time he was fifteen, Murphy worked as a
stand-up comic on the lower part of New York, wooing audiences with his
dead-on impressions of celebrities and outlooks on life.
