George Clooney | Born in 1961

George Clooney’s attractiveness is indeed undeniable. The actor began his career on television on The Facts of Life and, more popularly, on ER but moved quickly to Hollywood aristocracy. He now moves as easily between his investment home in Lake Como as he does between acting and directing critical darlings and commercial blockbusters.

Clooney, who was born in Kentucky on May 6, 1961, has showbiz in his blood. He got bitten by the acting bug after his cousin Miguel Ferrer helped him obtain his first feature film in 1982. Following a series of walk-on roles in sitcoms, most notably Roseanne, he got his big break in 1994 when he starred as the commitment-phobic Dr. Doug Ross in a medical drama. A star was born, and George has become one of Hollywood’s hottest A-list leading men. Despite his fortune, he has never lost sight of the world’s disadvantaged. He uses his celebrity to promote LGBT rights and assist individuals in political and environmental disasters.
