Happy birthday, Arnold Schwarzenegger! The star turns 76 years old today.
The Austrian-born actor, producer, former bodybuilder and governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most successful box office stars in history. With over 50 credits grossing more than $4 billion worldwide, Schwarzenegger ranks among the top 40 highest-grossing stars of all time.
His breakout role came with the epic adaptation “Conan the Barbarian” , directed by John Milius and co-written by Oscar-winner Oliver Stone. An instant box office success, he moved on to the defining franchise of his career with “The Terminator” , playing the villainous cyborg sent back in time to kill the mother of humanity’s savior John Connor. It spawned one of the best sequels ever made with “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” .
Schwarzenegger was a dominant force in the ’80s and ’90s, with roles in “Commando” , “Predator” , “Twins” , “Kindergarten Cop” , “Total Recall” and “True Lies” . Despite being considered “one-note” to film critics, he garnered a few accolades. Schwarzenegger was nominated for a Golden Globe for lead actor for his performance as a man who becomes pregnant in “Junior” and won an Emmy as an executive producer alongside his longtime friend and collaborator James Cameron for the docuseries “Years of Living Dangerously” .
