POPULAR/ FAMOUS IN THE FIELD OF ACTING
Modern Actors and Actress
Edward
Norton
Edward Norton was born on August 18, 1969 to parents
Edward, an attorney who works for the National Trust for Historic Preservation
and Robin Norton, a former foundation executive and teacher who passed away of
brain cancer on March 6, 1997. Edward also has two younger siblings named James
and Molly.
Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig, one of British theatre's most famous
faces who was waiting tables as a struggling teenage actor with the NYT, went
on to star as "James Bond" in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and
Skyfall. He was born Daniel Wroughton Craig on March 2, 1968, at 41 Liverpool
Road, Chester, Cheshire.
Gary Oldman
Gary Oldman, the son of a welder and a homemaker, won
a scholarship to Britain's Rose Bruford Drama College, where he received a B.A.
in theatre arts in 1979. He subsequently studied with the Greenwich Young
People's Theatre and went on to appear in a number of plays throughout the
early '80s.
John Cusack
John Cusack is, like most of his characters, an
unconventional hero. Wary of fame and repelled by formulaic Hollywood fare, the
Chicago-born actor has built a successful career playing underdogs and odd men
out--all the while avoiding the media spotlight.
Morgan
Freeman
With an authoritative voice and calm demeanor, this
ever popular American actor has grown into one of the most respected figures in
modern US cinema. Born in June 1937 in Memphis, Tennessee, the young Freeman
attended Los Angeles Community College before serving several years in the US
Air Force as a mechanic between 1955 and 1959.
Tom Hanks
Born in California, Tom Hanks grew up in what he calls
a "fractured" family. His parents were pioneers in the development of
marriage dissolution law in that state, and Tom moved around a lot, living with
a succession of step-families. No problems, no abuse, no alcoholism - just a
confused childhood.
Drew
Barrymore
Charming, free-spirited and - above all - talented,
Drew Barrymore has come a long way since her big-screen breakout inSteven
Spielberg's beloved sci-fi blockbuster, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Despite a
troubled and much-publicized adolescence during which she appeared in only a
handful of films, Barrymore's star was officially on the rise during the
mid-1990s with notable appearances in Poison Ivy.
