Bruce Willis (Actor) .. Lt AK Waters
Born: March 19, 1955 in Idar-Oberstein, Germany
Best Known For: The Die Hard films.
Early-life: Born Walter Bruce Willis on March 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. He is the oldest of four children. His father was a US soldier who married a local woman. After his father left the military, the family moved to Carneys Point, New Jersey. As a child he had a crippling stutter. He attended Montclair State University, but dropped out to pursue acting. While working as a barman, Willis was spotted by a New York casting director.
Career: Willis started out on stage and had small parts in movies and on TV before landing a lead role in hit series Moonlighting in 1985. The show's success led to major film roles and a brief stint in music. In 1988 he scored a massive hit on the big screen with Die Hard. Other successes include Pulp Fiction, Twelve Monkeys, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. In 2001 he announced he was steering clear of violent roles, but relented and went on to star in Hostage, Sin City and 16 Blocks. He scored another major success with A Good Day to Die Hard, and always has several movies in the pipeline (a fifth Die Hard film is being developed). Other recent films include Moonrise Kingdom, Red 2 and Sin City: A Dame to Die For.
Quote: 'You can't undo the past... but you can certainly not repeat it.'
Trivia: Willis co-foundered Planet Hollywood with actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
Monica Bellucci (Actor) .. Dr Lena Kendricks
Born: September 30, 1964 in The Italian village of Città di Castello, Umbria
Best Known For: Being one of Europe's most successful movie stars.
Early-life: Monica Anna Maria Bellucci was born on September 30, 1964, in the Italian village of Città di Castello, Umbria. Bellucci originally pursued a career in the legal profession. While attending the University of Perugia, she modelled on the side to earn money for school, and this led to her modelling career. In 1988, she moved to one of Europe's fashion centres, Milan, and joined Elite Model Management. Although enjoying great success as a model, she made her acting debut on TV in 1990, and her American film debut in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
Career: Bellucci's role in the 1996 French thriller, L'appartement (1996), shot her to stardom as she won the French equivalent of an Oscar nomination. She came to the attention of casting directors the world over and roles in major blockbusters soon followed, though she proved her commitment to taking roles that intrigued her with the controversial and thoroughly brutal Irreversible in 2002. Other credits include Malèna (2000), Under Suspicion (2000) and Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001), as well as Tears of the Sun, The Passion of the Christ and two of The Matrix films. Her recent work includes Don't Look Back, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, The Whistleblower, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Quote: 'I am at a stage in my life where if I don't go out, I don't feel I'm missing something. I get bored surrounded by people smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol.'
Trivia: Married to French megastar and frequent collaborator Vincent Cassel. They have two daughters, Deva and Léonie.
