William James Murray

Bill Murray is a legend of the world film industry. Dozens of images created by him and a lot of bright and talented films turned Murray into a Hollywood star of the first magnitude.

William (Bill) James Murray was born in Illinois in September 1950. Children and adolescence were spent in the town of Wilmette. Bill grew up in a low-income and large family. The boy was the 5th oldest of 9 children. Later, four sons, including Bill, became famous actors.

But as a child, and in his early teens, nothing foreshadowed Bill Murray's successful future. The guy was an outspoken slob. I didn't study well and skipped lessons. The only activity that seriously fascinated such a frivolous teenager, was a visit to the theater club. Bill later joked that he had signed up for the club solely because of the large number of pretty girls who were there. However, in the studio, Murray got the basics of acting.

After graduating from high school, the guy at the insistence of his parents entered medical college. It didn't last long. Not only was Bill skipping classes, he also smoked marijuana. This was discovered when Murray made a bad joke at Denver airport. To the on-duty question of the airport employee, what was in the suitcase, the young man answered the "bomb". Explosives could not be found, but the marijuana Murray had forgotten had been found.

After the incident, Bill Murray was expelled from college and the young man returned home.

Bill came to the cinema by accident. Brian Murray's older brother was in the acting studio Second City. Seeing his younger brother waving, Brian advised him to take the test. Unexpectedly for all the guy not only brilliantly passed the casting, but also was accepted to a prestigious university.

That's when Bill Murray's acting biography began. No, the young man did not become more serious and responsible, still balaguril and missed classes. But this lack of seriousness drew the attention of Bill a famous producer. Murray was offered to co-host a new music-humorous television show. The project quickly turned into one of the most rated, and TV presenters instantly became famous.

The fame of the charming comedian opened the door to the actor in the world of Hollywood. The young artist received several offers from famous directors. Viewers first saw Murray in the films "Golf Club," "Lost Shoes," "Where the Bison Roams" and "Volunteers involuntarily." But Murray's first tangible success in the film was a supporting role in the bestselling book "Tootsi", where the main character was played by Dustin Hoffman.

As for fame, it literally fell on Bill Murray after the release of the cult film "Ghostbusters", which began in 1984. The young artist instantly turned into a Hollywood star.

In the years that followed, Bill appeared in a number of uninteresting projects. But with the release of the sequel to "Ghostbusters" and the new Christmas Story, Murray regained lost ground and starry.

In 1990, it was Murray's first and most recent production and directing experience. Bill directed the comedy "Fast Change", where he played the main character Grimm Chipowski, who together with girlfriend Fills (Geena Davis) and buddy Loomis (Randy Kuade) robbed the institution of the mafia. The young people were almost lucky, they walked away from the police unnoticed. But they failed in a phone call that allowed them to be calculated.

Finally, Bill Murray was able to gain a foothold in Hollywood, playing the main character of the best-selling film "Groundhog Day". The amazing story of the same day rightly holds a special place in Murray's filmography. The on-screen actor was made up of the beautiful Andie McDowell, a sex symbol of the 90s. Critics warmly accepted the work of the creative tandem of director Harold Ramis and actor Bill Murray, the film even got on the National Film Registry of the United States, but at the box office showed modest results - only $70 million.

At the same time, with the actor on the screens came comedy "What about Bob?", tragicomedy "Ed Wood." An interesting experience for Bill Murray was participation in the comedy "More Than Life", where was to play the intellectual Jack, who inherited the elephant Vera.

In 1998, Bill diversified the palette of his own roles. The artist starred in the erotic thriller "Wildness", but here the role was with a comedic hue. Bill appeared as an eccentric lawyer who came to the aid of Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), who was wrongly accused of rape.

In the same year, the repertoire of the artist was supplemented by a role in the drama "Rushmore Academy". In 2000, Bill Murray got into the key cast of the adventure action movie "Charlie's Angels", where the main characters brilliantly played Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Lew.

In the mid-2000s there was a certain decline in the actor's film career. Perhaps perhaps the only pleasant exception was the film "Translation difficulties" of the famous Hollywood director Sofia Coppola. This time Bill showed himself in the role of a lyrical and touching hero, although the audience is more accustomed to the comic roles of Murray. For this work, the artist was awarded prestigious golden Globe and BAFTA awards, and critics named the film the best in 2003.

Among the special works of this period was the role of a cameo in the film almanac of cult director Jim Jarmusch "Coffee and cigarettes." The actor appeared as a waiter named Bill Murray. Two years later, Murray and Jarmusch repeated their creative tandem in the tragicomedy Broken Flowers. The film won the Grand Prix of the 58th Cannes Film Festival. From the last pictures with the participation of the star, the audience's attention was marked by the picture "Hyde Park on the Hudson."

The actor did not refuse to work in the studio dubbing. The main character of the cartoon "Garfield" spoke in Murray's voice. In 2009, the artist voiced Badger in the animated film "Mr. Fox." The film was produced by a stellar cast consisting of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jason Schwartzman. Under contract with Disney Studios, Murray gave his voice to the hero Baloo in the animated film "The Jungle Book" in 2016.

Two sons were born in this marriage. But neither the general life nor the children were able to save this union.

Murray's second wife was costume designer Jennifer Butler. Bill met the beauty during the filming process. But despite having four children, the couple separated in 2008. At the divorce proceedings, the ex-wife pointed out the reason for the breakdown of the relationship numerous infidelities of her husband and addiction to drugs and alcohol.

The star is not fond of reproducing his own photos on social media, but instagram on behalf of the artist is an account dedicated to Murray's work.

Bill Murray last appeared on screen in the 2016 drafts, the most high-profile of which was "Ghostbusters" in 3D. Bill was reincarnated as Dr. Martin Heiss. The new version of the fantastic picture gave way to the popularity of the first part of the franchise, but nevertheless the box office collected $229 million.

The actor could also be seen in the comedy detective "Angie Tribeca" and the comedy "The Head", in which Murray got not the main, but expressive roles.
