Mini biography
Three-time Mr. Universe and seven-time Mr. Olympia who, in the course
of 20 years, has become one of the world's leading box-office
attractions, married into one of America's foremost families and
built a thriving business and real estate empire.
Schwarzenegger played forgettable roles in several 1970s movies. He
earned a Golden Globe as best newcomer for his role in Bob Rafelson's
Stay Hungry (1976) and starred in two swordplay sagas, Conan the
Barbarian (1981) and Conan the Destroyer (1984), each of which
grossed over $100 million worldwide. Schwarzenegger's screen persona,
a physique that strains the imagination combined with a thick
Austrian accent, took a major credibility boost with Terminator, The
(1984), which cast him as an android. His trademark, automaton-like
delivery of minimal lines such as "I'll be back". Schwarzenegger's
has been a carefully orchestrated career, reflecting an aggressive
business and marketing acumen which has also brought him success in
other fields (he now produces the "Mr. Universe" and "Mr. Olympia"
pageants he once dominated). With an eagerness to adapt reminiscent
of some of the earlier immigrants who founded America's entertainment
industry, he has wholeheartedly embraced the American way, becoming a
naturalized citizen in 1983. Schwarzenegger was appointed Chairman of
the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports in 1990.
