Best Known For:
His memorable songs.
Early-life:
Born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota, where his father Abe was employed by an oil company. Six years later, the clan moved to Hibbing, often described as America's coldest place, where Abe ran an electrical and furniture goods shop. At the age of nine, Dylan taught himself to play guitar and piano. He refused formal lessons and has never learned to read music. In 1959 he enrolled at the University of Minnesota, but rather than attending lectures, he preferred to perform in local clubs.
Career:
In 1960, after changing his name officially to Dylan, he moved to New York. A year later he was signed to Columbia Records, who released his first album in 1962. It was 1963's The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan which helped make his name. In 1965 he toured with The Band, but a year later withdrew from public life following a serious motorbike accident. In 1973, he starred in and provided the score for Sam Peckinpah's Western Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. He has acted occasionally since, but continues to record and tour.
Quote:
'All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.'
Trivia:
Dylan won an Oscar in 2001 for his song Things Have Changed, from Wonder Boys.
