Childhood and Early Life
William James Murray is the fifth of the ten other children of an Irish Catholic family whose ancestors emigrated to the United States at the beginning of the last century. Three of his brothers (Joel, John, and Bryan) also have dedicated their lives to cinematography.
Acting career
After returning home, Bill was hanging around and was jumping from job to job for some time. Seeing that, his older brother, Brian, offered him to enroll in acting courses at the Chicago theatre, Second City. The young man easily passed all qualifying rounds and shortly after started his classes.
In 1976, Bill received attractive offers from several Hollywood film directors, so he moved to Los Angeles without hesitation. In the beginning, he played supporting roles and roles in small episodes, but soon real fortune smiled on him. In 1982, the release of the picture Tootsie by Sydney Pollack took palace. He didn't receive the lead role, but his role was intense and memorable. The comedy became one of the best comedies in the history of world cinematography. It won many prestigious awards, and all its actors became favorites among viewers.
Despite such runaway success, there were no attractive offers from film directors in the future, so Bill took a short time out. He dedicated his four-year break to traveling and studying French in Sorbonne, and in 1988 he loudly reminded about himself in the cult film Ghostbusters. A year earlier, he had appeared in the comedy Scrooged in which he played with his three brothers.
A few years later, Murray's filmography was increased with another great film. It was a touching philosophical comedy called Groundhog Day (1993) in which Bill's character experienced the same events every day. His brilliant acting with Andie MacDowell touched both viewers and critics, many of which called it the best work in Murray's career. The actor also highly values this film and believes that it's one of the masterpieces of the world cinematography.
Murray is one of the favorites actors of a film director, Wes Anderson. I believe that this person is an absolute genius, says the film director, His thinking is VERY odd, so you never know what he will say or do the next minute. We can see Bill in most of Anderson's films, starting with Rushmore (1998) in which a 15-year old student tries to make friends with Bill's character, a millionaire having a mid-life crisis. Wes actually didn't even expect Murray to at least read the plot of his film. But it turned out that Bill thought highly of Anderson's first work, the comedy Bottle Rocket, so he not only accepted his offer to play in Rushmore but also became a frequent actor of Wes' projects.
Private Life of Bill Murray
The actor's high school girlfriend, Margaret Kelly, was his first wife. She gave him two heirs, Homer (born 1982) and Luke (born 1985). Their family story that had been lasting for 13 years (from 1980 to 1994) ended with a big divorce that included long proceedings and enormous compensations. Bill's affair with a customer, Jennifer Butler, whom he had met during filming was the reason for their divorce.
Bill Murray Now
