| :: Biography :: |
|
Actor, former bodybuilder. Born July 30, 1947, in the sleepy town of Graz, Austria. As a teenager, Schwarzenegger was so determined to become the greatest bodybuilder in history that he would break into the gym to train on Sundays, pumping iron until he collapsed from exhaustion. His dream was realized in 1967, when the 20-year-old Schwarzenegger won his first Mr. Universe contest. Several bodybuilding titles followed, which led many to credit Schwarzenegger with single-handedly popularizing the sport. In 1968, Schwarzenegger moved to the United States, where he studied business and economics at the University of Wisconsin. Upon his graduation, he invested his contest earnings in various real estate projects and a bodybuilding equipment company. Billed as Arnold Strong, Schwarzenegger tried his hand at acting, making his screen debut in the low-budget adventure Hercules in New York (1970). After a few years struggling to find suitable film work, he landed his first substantial acting role in the offbeat comedy Stay Hungry (1976), which starred Jeff Bridges and Sally Field. Other memorable projects followed shortly thereafter, including the bodybuilding documentary Pumping Iron (1977) and the TV biopic The Jane Mansfield Story (1980).
