Did You Know..

Arnold Schwarzenegger (Actor) .. Howard Langston

Born: July 30, 1947 in Thal, Austria

Best Known For: Going into politics after a sparkling movie career.

Early-life: Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947, in Austria, the son of a policeman. Has a brother, Meinhard. Childhood friends claim he often said his ambitions were to move to America, become an actor, and marry a Kennedy - he achieved all three. A skinny youth, he began lifting weights to improve his physique, and became arguably the greatest-ever bodybuilder, winning Mr Olympia seven times. He capitalised on the fame by setting up several businesses while gaining a degree from the University of Wisconsin.

Career: Made his movie debut in 1970's Hercules in New York, and gained a Golden Globe for Best Newcomer in 1976's Stay Hungry, but didn't become a star until Conan the Barbarian in 1982.The 1980s proved a successful decade thanks to hits Raw Deal, Predator, The Running Man, The Terminator and Twins, a rare foray into comedy. Terminator 2, True Lies and Junior followed these in the 1990s. In the latter years of his career he suffered a number of flops, and Terminator 3 was his last moderate hit. Today he is best known as the former Governor of California, although he has resurrected his big-screen career with roles in The Expendables 2, The Last Stand and The Tomb.

Quote: "The worst I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that."

Trivia: Schwarzenegger became a US citizen in 1983.
