Kevin Fowler

In one interview, Kevin Spacey said he wasn't interested in characters who don't have a destiny, a character, something called action. He had no idea what kind of drama his own life would throw. The Oscar and Golden Globe winner, who was the most secretive artist in Hollywood, made a come-out. At other times, the public might have admired such courage, but Spacey's moment of revelation coincided with a growing struggle with harassment and a wave of accusations of harassment.

Kevin Spacey Fowler was born in South Orange, New Jersey. Thomas Jeffrey Fowler, the actor's father, interrupted the casual earnings of the compiler of technical documentation. The family was supported by Kathleen's mother Ann Nutson, who worked as a secretary and had three children (Kevin has a brother, Randall, and a sister, Julia).

When it was time to go to school, Spacey enrolled in the san Fernando School. But because of behavioral problems, the parents transferred their son to the Northridge Boys' Military Academy, which was based in Los Angeles. The strict system of education here had no effect on the expressive teenager, and a year later the actor was expelled.

The young man returned to his former place, where he discovered the world of theatrical art, became involved in all school productions and realized that he did not want to engage in anything other than acting. After starring in arthur Miller's play All My Sons, the Chatsworth school's management invited Kevin to a special drama class.

After high school, Fowler enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College B, from where he immediately transferred to New York To the Juilliard School. In this institution, he played in the performances "The Sound of Music" and "The Perfect Husband." At the same time there is a pseudonym Spacey - the maiden name of his grandmother. After studying for 2 years, the young man dropped out of school to focus on professional performances in the theater.

Spacey carefully concealed his personal life, never parted with the status of a bachelor, did not spread about the relationship and appeared at parties accompanied by his mother. "The less you know about me, the easier it is to convince you that I am the hero on the screen. This allows the viewer to get into the film and believe in what is happening. No one has the right to make me tell something about myself that I don't think is necessary."

The actor was rumored to be dating colleague April Winchell and screenwriter Diane Dreyer as a young man. Romance with the latter stretched for 9 years, but during this time the paparazzi never caught a couple coming out of the same house, on a walk or in a restaurant. And if so, whether to talk about the presence of true feelings. Of course, there were rumors that Spacey was gay. Publications in the press only stirred suspicions.

On the pages of magazines appeared a photo of Kevin sunbathing in the park in the company of a young man. The companion hugged the actor by the shoulders. A bartender told how Spacey showed him his genitals. Hints of his homosexuality were found even in cartoons, openly gays urged the man to stop hypocrisy.

Representatives of the British edition of The Daily Mirror reported that the name of the Hollywood star was included in the list of famous homosexuals, which is used as part of the prevention of homophobia among high school students. The program's executives soon apologized to Spacey, calling the incident a mistake.

In 2017, Kevin publicly admitted to non-traditional sexual orientation. Such news is not surprising anyone now, but the situation with the actor has acquired a different color. Shortly before that, he found himself in the midst of a gay scandal, which turned into a rogue. The LGBT community accused Spacey of self-serving use of his position in an attempt to divert attention from the essence of the story that happened specifically to him. And then it was about harassment of minors.

Kevin loves sports. He is a fan of tennis, American and European football, basketball and baseball. The fact that the actor prefers not to go on the field, and root for his favorite athletes on the podium, does not affect his own physical data. Spacey though not an athlete, but quite a slender man (height 178 cm, weight 75 kg).

In 1981, Kevin signed a contract with a theater agency and began performing on Broadway. He played in Shakespeare's play "Henry VI", Rayb's drama "The Trouble", Moliere's "Misanthrope". In Chekhov's Seagull, the actor played the role of Treplev, and in Ibsen's drama "Ghostbusters" - Oswald.

Having played with famous actors Jack Lemmon and Peter Gallagher in the production of "Long Day Goes Into the Night", Spacey received an invitation to try his hand at the movie. But he did not leave the theater and in 1991 for his participation in the play "Lost in Yonkers" received the highest theater award "Tony".

For 12 years, Kevin ran London's oldest theatre, the Old Vic. On this stage he was brilliantly reincarnated as the main characters of William Shakespeare's "Richard II" and "Richard III".

The actor made television debuts in a cameo in The Criminal Stories, before starring alongside Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep in the melodrama "Jealousy". These films were followed by roles in the comedies "Business Girl", "I can't see anything, I can't hear anything," "Caution, hostage!", tv series "Smart," tragicomedy "Father", erotic melodrama "Henry and June."

In the drama "The Americans" (Glengarry Glen Ross), Kevin's partners were Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin and Ed Harris. The film with a budget of $12.5 million was shot in 39 days according to the script, the author of which won a Pulitzer Prize for it. The actors agreed to work for very modest fees. For example, Baldwin was paid $250,000. instead of the traditional $2-3 million. Pacino was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his performance in this film.

The first confession came in 1995, after the release of the thriller "Seven", in which Spacey replaced Val Kilmer played the role of serial killer John Doe. For this image he received the MTV Movie Awards, the National Board of Film Critics of the United States and the New York Society of Film Critics. Gwyneth Paltrow, who initially gave up the project, joined the cast thanks to Brad Pitt, whom she was dating at the time. Pitt and Morgan Freeman played investigators looking for a maniac.

With Benicio Del Toro and another member of the Baldwin family, Stephen, Kevin starred in the neo-noir detective "Suspicious Persons". Another supporting role of the villain earned him the first statuette "Oscar" in the category "Best Supporting Actor" and a nomination for the Golden Globes. The site IMDB, whose opinion is guided by viewers around the world, included the film in the list of the 250 best, and The American Film Institute - in the top ten most notable in its genre.

After this success, the actor was used in the background in the drama "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil", the thriller "Secrets of Los Angeles" and the action movie "The Negotiator". For these works Kevin Spacey received high marks of film critics.

In 1999, the psychological drama "Beauty in American" was released, which had a resounding success. In the project Spacey for the first time appeared before the audience in the title role. The film has won fifty awards from various professional communities and an Oscar in five of the eight nominations. The prize in the main men's category went to Kevin.

Among the candidates for the role of advertising agent, who fell in love with his daughter's girlfriend, were Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis and John Travolta. His wife could have played Holly Hunter or Helen Hunt. But director Sam Mendes saw in these images only Spacey and Annette Bening.

Later in the filmography of the performer appeared the action movie "Ordinary Criminal", the family film "Genial Dad", comedy "Austin Powers: Goldzamber", in which Kevin played along with the family of Ozzy Osbourne. He received another nomination for the Golden Globes and BAFTA for his role as a loser in the melodrama "Ship News". In "Superman's Return," the actor is reincarnated as the supervillain of the Dc Comics universe, in "Psychoanalyst" - a doctor hooked on drugs, in the drama "Twenty One" - a math teacher whose students cheat on casinos.

He taught Spacey and outside the set - taught all comers acting. The lessons were broadcast by the paid video service MasterClass. Records on how to overcome casting, avoid predictability, create character removed after the actor became a figure of scandalous showdowns.

An interesting project for Spacey was the drama "The Life of David Gale", where he embodied the image of a fighter for the abolition of the death penalty in Texas.

Receiving a similar sentence, Kevin's character gives an interview to a journalist in the person of Kate Winslet. The reporter has irrefutable evidence of the innocence of the convict, but the sentence is carried out. A similar theme was raised in Joel Schumacher's film Time to Kill. But here the actor tried on the role of a public prosecutor, insisting on punishing the criminal.

Spacey has two directorial works. In 1997, he presented the film "Albino Alligator", in a thriller for the title role called Matt Dillon. In 2004, the artist released a biographical project "By the Sea", in which he played the main character - singer Bobby Darin. Interestingly, all the musical material of the film Kevin performed himself.

Film critics also noted the Russian-American short film "The Envelope", which tells about an unusual case in the life of the famous writer Evgeny Petrov. Kevin Spacey played the role of the famous co-author of "12 Chairs" and "Golden Calf".

The central character of the crime comedy "Casino Jack" is also a real person, businessman-briber Jack Abramoff, who served 6 years in prison for fraud. Starting to shoot, the actor visited Jack in custody, communicated with the team with which he worked in Parliament, as well as with people who hated him.

With similar sensitivity, Spacey approached the role of a trader in the "Risk Limit". At the heart of the screenplay (marked, by the way, "Oscar") is the story of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., the largest financial conglomerate founded in the mid-19th century, whose bankruptcy led to the global crisis of 2008. The actor took advantage of the fact that the film was filmed in Manhattan, and met with employees of the banks located there.

Fantastic film "Planet Ka-Pax" at the box office did not pay off, but brought the performer the role of a patient of a psychiatric clinic nomination for the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

A large-scale work for Kevin became a popular worldwide political series "House of Cards." Spacey and Robin Wright brilliantly played the Underwood couple, who will stop at nothing for the sake of the goal - total power. Fans call the film the most successful in the actor's creative biography.

At the same time, the comedy "Nine Lives" about the reincarnation of a man in the body of a cat, released in 2016, according to viewers, the worst project in Spacey's career. The actor, according to him, did not manage to impress, and the directors did not create acceptable conditions that would reveal the talent of Hollywood celebrity.

Shortly before the career-burying scandal, Kevin starred in Jerome David Salinger's "Beyond the Gap in the Rye." He was given the role of a teacher who revealed the writing talent of his student, author of the best-selling book "Over the Abyss in the Rye."

In 2017, the premiere of two films with the participation of the actor - the comedy action movie "Baby on the Drive" and the 5th season of the series "House of Cards." The director of the first, who began to shoot in "Ant-Man" Michael Douglas, planned to attract him to the new film, but was refused. Then Edgar Wright came to the site of the second picture and enlisted the support of Kevin. Spacey's teammates are the burgeoning Ensel Elgort, Jamie Foxx and Eisa Gonzalez. The creators of "The Kid" brought a nine-fold profit.

The intrigue of the new series of "House of Cards" unfolded around the next ambitions of the president. As Kevin's hero says, "all citizens of the country are one nation underwood."

The actor uses his favorite image in public rallies. In 2016, world politicians, economists and journalists gathered in Kiev for the 13th forum "Yalta Economic Strategy" (YES). Spacey also arrived as a special guest. During the speech, he said that if he became the president of the most powerful state in the world, he would try to fight political corruption.

"Even in the U.S., money is wasted in government, and it's so shocking, because we could feed the world on these funds," Spacey said from the podium of the forum. Responding to journalists' questions about radical sentiments in Europe, the American stressed that it is much better to cooperate with each other rather than to fight.

The image of billionaire Jean Paul Getty could bring Kevin another Oscar or the British Film Academy Awards. But Ridley Scott ruthlessly cut out the drama "All the Money world" footage with the actor. The director though admitted that Spacey played inimitable, fantastically, feared for the reputation of the film. A war like the one that played out around Harvey Weinstein, by then, touched Kevin.

In October 2017, actor Anthony Rapp accused a senior colleague of harassment. According to the Star Trek star, the drunk Kevin tried to get into an intimate relationship with him, then a 14-year-old, but was rebuffed. In response, Spacey posted a post on Twitter and Instagram saying he had no recollection of what had happened, and if so, he apologized.

The sex scandal got a continuation. In addition to Rapp, 14 other people were indicted, including his Friends of the House of Cards colleagues and the former son-in-law of the King of Norway. California prosecutors said they would not prosecute crimes that have a statute of limitations of more than a quarter of a century. But investigations have begun in the UK, where six charges have been brought against Spacey.

A TV presenter from Massachusetts also sued. In 2016, Kevin was bent on the intimacy of her son, who was 18 at the time. The trial began in 2019. Although Spacey requested permission not to attend the hearing, the judge ordered him to appear at the hearing. The actor himself denied his guilt. The application for a printout of the victim's calls from the period, which could have shed light on Kevin's innocence, was granted. Spacey was allowed not to attend the retrial.

The scandal undermined the actor's authority. The creators of "House of Cards" terminated the contract for shooting the 6th season. The International Television Academy changed its mind to award him the Emmy Founders Award.

In August 2018, the film "Billionaires Club" was released, where one of the roles was played by Kevin. Filming of the film took place in 2016, even before the unpleasant events in the life of the artist, it was possible to release it on screens only after 2 years. Despite the fact that among the performers of the main roles were such stars as Jeremy Irwin, Theron Edgerton and Emma Roberts, the drama was the worst picture of the year at the box office. The first weekend brought its creators just over $600.

The opal that Spacey was getting into was getting up. His spokeswoman, Stacey Wolf, Creative Artists Agency and Dutch bank ING, declined to comment. Netflix has stopped working on the movie "Gore." The total loss of the companies with which Kevin collaborated is estimated at $30 million. And that's not counting how much he lost himself, because, according to rumors, the fee for one series in "The House" was $500,000.

There were also those who in the sea of negativity uttered words of support to the artist. This is Robin Wright, with whom he starred in "House of Cards", British actress Judi Dench, Christopher Plummer, who replaced Spacey in the film Ridley Scott. Kate Mara noticed that she did not expect such hype around Kevin and feels devastated.

Bryan Cranston believes that the actor deserved a second chance, only he should be treated. Celebrity representatives said he went to the same clinic as Weinstein.

In the summer of 2019, Spacey, who faced a five-year prison sentence for seducing the TV presenter's son, was acquitted. The prosecution counted on the video stored in the boy's phone, but the gadget disappeared. The young man's mother later admitted that she had deleted the recording. Lawyers of the actor suggested that the destroyed information could testify just in favor of the defendant. This explains the woman's actions.

On the eve of 2020, Kevin posted a video on social media, in which he advised not to rush to retaliate against detractors, because "you can kill with kindness." By a strange coincidence with those who accused Spacey of harassment, even before that began to happen incomprehensible, and sometimes tragic things - sudden death, suicide, one woman died under the wheels of a car, another prosecutor refused his words without explanation. In Hollywood, even there was an evil joke that to make claims to Kevin Spacey is more expensive.
