Knowing Many Of The Chicago Actors

By Jayne Rutledge


Many of the Chicago actors have a great story to share with the world. The individuals who come from Illinois know all about the happiness and pain that success can bring. Fortunately many of them have fought their way to the top and were able to stay there. Many of the others only lasted for a few years before dying or falling on hard times.

People would wait in line for hours during the 70's just to meet Billy Murray and the other players of "Saturday Night Live." He was always such a very funny man who was born in Illinois. No one on any show could ever be more humorous than Bill and this was a well know fact. His great sense of humor took him very far in the entertainment world.

When "Flashdance" first appeared in movie theatres within the United States no one had ever heard of Jennifer Beals. She took the country by surprise with her strong performance in this movie. Jennifer knows how to get along with people of all cultures since her dad was black and her mother is white. She did not have it easy while growing up on the south side of this city.

Harrison Ford is the man that every male wants to become when they grow up. He is very handsome and gives good performances in all of his movies. Harrison's character of Indiana Jones made him an instant celebrity even though he had been acting for many years. This man grew up in poverty and is now one of the richest men in Hollywood.

He will admit to anyone that he faced many challenges in the entertainment world during his youth. Harrison kept his job as a carpenter just in case his movie career failed. It was very lucky that he did not listen to a producer who tried to sabotage his work.

Walt Disney is from this particular area and he introduced the entire world to a character called Mickey Mouse. He was very proud of the work that he did for Hollywood and everyone really appreciated his input on many films. He has a long list of films and also created Walt Disney World.

Jennifer Hudson started off as a shy fat girl in this popular town. She had always dreamed about becoming a singer and sang for her church every weekend. In a few years Ms. Hudson became successful after people watched her on the classic television show "American Idol." She has now become a very pretty slender woman who has gained great respect from her fans. Unfortunately a crazy killer also killed her family several years ago.

The Chicago actors who take center stage may sometimes pay the ultimate price for their fame. United States citizens know that Mr. John Belushi could have been the next Milton Berle because of his rare acting talent. It is a good thing that the world still has performers like Mandy Patinkin, Tom Berenger, Robin Williams and Joe Mantegna. These Illinois performers have overcome their demons and they are still going strong. Sadly the late Michael Clarke Duncan could have been an excellent role model for young men everywhere.
