James Cameron was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada, on August 16, 1954. He moved to the USA in 1971. The son of an engineer, he majored in physics at California State University but, after graduating, drove a truck to support his screen-writing ambition. He landed his first professional film job as art director, miniature-set builder, and process-projection supervisor on Roger Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) and debuted as a director with Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1981) the following year.
In 1984, he wrote and directed The Terminator (1984), a futuristic action-thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, and Linda Hamilton. It was a huge success. After this came a string of successful science-fiction action films such as Aliens (1986) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Cameron is now one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. He was formerly married to producer Gale Anne Hurd, who produced several of his films. He married Kathryn Bigelow in 1989.
SpouseSuzy Amis (4 June 2000 - present) 3 children Linda Hamilton (26 July 1997 - 1999) (divorced) 1 child Kathryn Bigelow (17 August 1989 - 1991) (divorced) Gale Anne Hurd (1985 - 1989) (divorced) Sharon Williams (14 February 1978 - 1984) (divorced)
Trade MarkStrong female characters.
Frequently casts Michael Biehn, Jenette Goldstein, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
His films frequently feature scenes filmed in deep blues.
Plots or events involving nuclear explosions or wars
Likes to make nice/effective cuts
Likes to show close-up shots of feet or wheels, often trampling things
Tight/close-up tracking shots on vehicles, especially during chase scenes.
Brings camera in close during fight scenes, achieving a claustrophic effect.
Cameron's films tend to include broken, swinging flourescent lights, especially in fight scenes. See: The Abyss (1989), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), True Lies (1994), and Strange Days (1995).
Often includes sequences in which a video monitor is the perspective of the camera. For example, the T-800's viewpoint in infrared in The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), the helmet cameras in Aliens (1986), Little Geek exploring the submarine in The Abyss (1989), television newscasts in The Abyss (1989), the surveilance cameras in True Lies (1994), and the SQUID sequences in Strange Days (1995) and Brock's "Geraldo Moment" at the beginning of _Titanic (1997) . He uses this perspective at least once in every movie he is tied with.
Often features shots of large explosions, crashes, gunshots, etc. in the background with people running away in the foreground. These shots were used heavily in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and True Lies (1994) but also in other films.
[Dreams] Often works dreams or characters sleeping into the plot.
His films tend to have scenes with elevators with something dangerous happening near or in them. In Aliens (1986), Ripley goes up and down a cargo elevator several times, exiting the complex and then going back while loading weapons to get Newt and then leaving with the Queen Alien following. The Queen Alien rides the elevator to follow Ripley. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sara sees the T-800 for the first time exiting an elevator. The T-1000 is shot from outside the elevator and then attacks Sara, John and the T-800 above it. In another scene, Sara, John and the T-800 crash in an elevator after an explosion on a higher floor. They are then gassed by the SWAT team at the bottom. In True Lies (1994), Harry enters an elevator on a horse in pursuit of a terrorist in the opposite elevator on a motorcycle. In Titanic (1997), Rose goes up an elevator with Jack to escape her fiancé. In another scene, Rose goes down an elevator to a flooded floor, filling it with water.
Utilizes slow motion in intense scenes or to intensify a scene
TriviaDaughter, with Hamilton, Josephine Archer Cameron born. [15 February 1993]
Brother of Mike Cameron.
According to Cameron, he got his big break while doing pick-up shots for Galaxy of Terror (1981) as 2nd unit director. He was shooting scenes of a dismembered arm teeming with maggots (actually mealworms). In order to make them move, he hooked up an AC power cord to the arm, and an unseen assistant would plug it in when the film was rolling. Two producers were strolling through, and when Cameron yelled "Action!" the worms began to writhe on cue. When he yelled "Cut!" the worms stopped. The producers were so amazed at his directing prowess that they began talking with him about bigger projects.
His production company is 'Lightstorm Entertainment'.
One of the founders of visual effects company 'Digital Domain'.
While editing Titanic (1997) Cameron had a razor blade taped to the side of the editing computer with the instructions written underneath: "Use only if film sucks!"
Jokingly refers to Titanic (1997) as his 190 Million Dollar "Chick Flick".
First director to film both a $100 million (_Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)_ ) and a $200 million (Titanic (1997)) movie.
Cameron is in talks with RKK Energia and MirCorp to pay his way on board the Mir space station (or the ISS, should Mir be deorbited). He has been given the medical green light, and has already ridden aboard the Ilushin-76 jet used to train cosmonauts for space missions. [September 2000]
Daughter Claire, with wife Suzy Amis, born. [4 April 2001]
Has a stepdaughter, Lolita De Palma, from Gale Anne Hurd's marriage to Brian De Palma.
Has a stepson named Jasper, from Suzy Amis' marriage to Sam Robards.
Lost a plagiarism lawsuit brought by Harlan Ellison involving the movie The Terminator (1984). Newer prints of the film acknowledge Ellison.
Went to elementary school in Chippawa, Ontario.
His films frequently depict children in some kind of danger.
First wife Sharon Williams got just $1,200 from Cameron in their divorce settlement.
The eldest of five children.
He has written a script for a film called Avatar. The script is 85 pages long and tells the story of Josh, a man who agrees of becoming a 'controller' on a distant planet populated by an alien race. However, the huge budget of $350 million grounded the project and it has yet to be produced (it would have boasted a photo-realistic CGI cast). This was one off the scripts on Empire Magazine's "Twelve Greatest Unproduced Scripts In Hollywood" list.
Security is provided by Gavin De Becker, author of "The Gift of Fear."
He and Suzy Amis are owners of Childspot!, an early childhood center in Wichita, Kansas which is operated by Suzy's sister, Rebecca Amis.
Wrote a screenplay for Spider-Man (2002) movie, but was turned down by the studios, due to the fact that his version of Spider-Man was "too violent". Sam Raimi's version got the green light instead.
Married one of his producers and two of his actresses.
Has made 4 films involving water: The Abyss (1989), Titanic (1997), Expedition: Bismarck (2002) (TV), and Ghosts of the Abyss (2003). His _Untitled James Cameron Project (2007)_ will be his 5th movie involving water.
His practice of testing his DPs by darkening the film originated on Aliens (1986). Cameron wanted to use a particular type of film stock, but cinematographer Dick Bush ignored him and used a different type. The end result being that the footage shot ended up being unusably dark. After Bush was fired due to an unrelated incident and Adrian Biddle took over, Cameron found some of the film in a storage cupboard and had the camera operators use it instead of the film Biddle had told them to use. Biddle noticed what was going on after the first take, and compensated with extra lighting, hoping to hide his "mistake" from Cameron, who owned up at the end of the day. Cameron later did the same to Mikael Salomon on The Abyss (1989) and to Russell Carpenter on True Lies (1994).
He is a huge Japanese anime fan, and the releasing studios often uses his opinion about the film on the DVD and VHS covers.
On the 14 March 2004 episode of "Inside the Actors Studio" (1994), Kate Winslet claimed her nude portrait for Leonardo DiCaprio in the Titanic (1997) was drawn by Cameron. She also said the artist's hand shown in a close-up was Cameron's.
The mandibles of the Predator from Predator (1987) were his idea.
One of only two people to have both written and directed an Alien movie. The other is Paul W.S. Anderson.
Co-created the newly high-definition video system with cinematographer Vince Pace that was recently used to film Ghosts of the Abyss (2003).
Got the nickname "Iron Jim" because of his stern, stubborn ways as a director.
A magazine article written about him in the 1980s described how he had three desks set up in his house. At one desk, he was writing the script to The Terminator (1984), on another, he was finishing the script to Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) and on the third, he was writing Aliens (1986).
Often uses a helicopter in his films.
When he wrote an early script treatment for Spider-Man (2002), he had the idea of organic web-shooters. This was later included in Sam Raimi's film.
Often employs composers Brad Fiedel and James Horner to score his films.
He has developed a new generation stereo imaging camera called "The Fusion Camera"
The titles of his two current theatrical documentaries contain the titles of two of his previous films; the title of his documentary "Ghosts of the Abyss" contains the title of his previous film "The Abyss", and the title of his other documentary "Aliens of the Deep" contains the title of another one of his previous films, "Aliens".
Member of the American Cinema Editors (ACE).
The October 1987 draft of the screenplay for Alien Nation (1988) credits a rewrite to James Cameron. He is not credited in the final film.
Drew the picture of Rose (Kate Winslet) in the movie, _Titanic_ . The image was flipped so it would appear that Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) was drawing it with his right hand.
Was interested in remaking Planet of the Apes (1968), but his script was turned down. Another script was then developed and eventually made by Tim Burton in 2001.
Had daughter, Elizabeth Rose, with Suzi Amis born on 29 December 2006.
Considered directing "Solaris" (2002) but opted to produce instead. Job went to Steven Soderbergh.
The titles of his movies tend to begin with the letters "T" or "A". The Terminator (1984), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), True Lies (1994) and Titanic (1997) all begin with a "T". While Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989) begin with an "A" - and the upcoming Avatar (2009) also begins with an "A".
Personal Quotes"People call me a perfectionist, but I'm not. I'm a rightist. I do something until it's right, and then I move on to the next thing."
...you can read all the books about film-making, all the articles in American Cinematographer and that sort of thing, but you have to really see how it works on a day-to-day basis, and how to pace your energy so that you can survive the film, which was a lesson that took me a long time to learn.
I was petrified at the start of Terminator. First of all, I was working with a star, at least I thought of him as a star at the time. Arnold came out of it even more a star.
I went from driving a truck to becoming a movie director, with a little time working with Roger Corman in between. When I wrote The Terminator, I sold the rights at that time - that was my shot to get the film made. So I've never owned the rights in the time that the franchise has been developed. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to direct the second film and do so on my own creative terms, which was good. But that was in 1991 and I've felt like it was time to move on. The primary reason for making a third one was financial, and that didn't strike me as organic enough a reason to be making a film.
Well, I see our potential destruction and the potential salvation as human beings coming from technology and how we use it, how we master it and how we prevent it from mastering us. Titanic was as much about that theme as the Terminator films, and in Aliens, it's the reliance on technology that defeats the marines, but it's technology being used properly that allows Sigourney's character to prevail at the end. And Titanic is all about technology, metaphorically as well as on a literal level, because the world was being transformed by the technology at that time. And people were rescued from the Titanic because of wireless technology, and because of the advances that had been made only in the year or so before the ship sank that allowed them to call for help when they were lost at sea in the middle of the North Atlantic. So I think it's an interesting theme, one that's always been fascinating for me...
A director's job is to make something happen and it doesn't happen by itself. So you wheedle, you cajole, you flatter people, you tell them what needs to be done. And if you don't bring a passion and an intensity to it, you shouldn't be doing it.
[on using newly developed 3D cameras, and traditional film] "If I never touch film again, I'd be happy. Filmmaking is not about film, not about sprockets. It's about ideas, it's about images, it's about imagination, it's about storytelling. If I had the cameras I'm using now when I was shooting Titanic (1997), I would have shot it using them."
"As much as I love Star Wars (1977) and as much as it's really revolutionized the imaging business, it went off the rails in the sense that science fiction, historically, was a science fiction of ideas. It was thematic fiction. It stopped being that and became just pure eye candy and pure entertainment. And I miss that. With Battle Angel (2007) I'm going to flirt with that darker, dystopian message as much as I can, without making it an art film."
[On the future of 3D] "With digital 3D projection, we will be entering a new age of cinema. Audiences will be seeing something which was never technically possible before the age of digital cinema - a stunning visual experience which 'turbocharges' the viewing of the biggest, must-see movies. The biggest action, visual effects and fantasy movies will soon be shot in 3D. And all-CG animated films can easily be converted to 3D, without additional cost if it is done as they are made. Soon audiences will associate 3D with the highest level of visual content in the market, and seek out that premium experience."
[Talking about the appeal of the Terminator]: "It's fun to fantasize being a guy who can do whatever he wants. This Terminator guy is indestructible. He can be as rude as he wants. He can walk through a door, go through a plate-glass window and just get up, brush off impacts from bullets. It's like the dark side of Superman, in a sense. I think it has a great cathartic value to people who wish they could just splinter open the door to their boss's office, walk in, break his desk in half, grab him by the throat and throw him out the window and get away with it. Everybody has that little demon that wants to be able to do whatever it wants, the bad kid that never gets punished."
[About dropping several sequences from the finished film of the Terminator]: "We had to cut scenes I was in love with in order to save money."
[About the budget for the original Terminator]: "They were extremely hesitant about going over $4 million. We convinced them this movie could not be made for less than $6 million, especially with Arnold Schwarzenegger starring, because he commanded a significant salary; the final shooting budget was actually $6.5 million."
"The only compelling reason for me to have done that film was a sense of pride of authorship. "Well, dammit, I did the first one and I did the second one and it's my creation and I should do the third one." But ultimately, that's a stupid reason to spend a year, year and a half of your life in hell to make a big movie. I'd rather spend a year of my life in hell to make something new, which is what I will be doing." - [about his reason to decline Terminator 3]
"So, what I said was, "If they come up with a decent script that you (Arnold Schwarzenegger) like and you think you can play, do something cool, and they pay you an awful lot of money, you should just go do it. Don't feel like you're betraying me or anything else."" - [about his view on Arnold Schwarzenegger for doing Terminator 3]
"I guess Titanic because it made the most money. No, I'm kidding. I don't really have a favorite. Maybe Terminator because that was the film that was the first one back when I was essentially a truck driver." - [about his favorite movie he directed]
"That was the purest experience, even though it was the cheapest one and the cheesiest looking one." - [about 'The Terminator' (1984)]
"I've always enjoyed it when it was John Woo in his Hong Kong days like Hard Boiled, but I think it's overused now." - [on Hong Kong film making styles]
"I don't look at scripts. I just write them."
"Basically because I had told the story. To make Terminator 3 was to make a 3." - [about his reason to decline Terminator 3]
"It just never really gelled and then the September 11th attacks happened and the idea of a domestic comedy adventure film about an anti-terrorism unit just didn't seem all that funny to me anymore." - [about his reason to decline True Lies 2]
"So, Spider-Man was obviously good casting for him (Sam Raimi). I mean, he was good casting to do Spider-Man. Would I have done it differently? Yeah, absolutely. It would've been a very different film, but that's the film you've never seen. I've seen it." - [on Sam Raimi's Spiderman]
"Of the three that we're planning, it's a question of the order, one's historical and two are science fiction. None are ocean." - [about his future projects]
[When he was the new hot screenwriter in the mid-1980s] "I haven't paid for lunch in two weeks."
[When interviewer asks if he thought he had a hit on his hands] "We had been dragged across a cheese grater, face down, for two solid years, and we thought we had the biggest money-losing film in history. Then we had our first preview screening in Minneapolis, and there was a woman sitting behind me - I had no idea who she was: a Minneapolis housewife, maybe - who narrated the entire film. She was like a Pez dispenser: everything just popped out of her mouth. I just kind of leant my chair back so I could hear what she was saying. I remember distinctly the moment when Jack and Rose are shaking hands when they are about to part, and Rose is saying, 'You're very presumptuous,' and the woman sitting behind me is saying, 'Yes, but you're not letting go of his hand, are you?' That was the moment when I knew the movie was communicating exactly the way it was meant to."
[on how he came up with the idea of "The Terminator"] "I would see these images of a metallic death figure rising Phoenix-like out of fire, I woke up and grabbed a pencil and paper and started writing. When I originally got the idea for Terminator, I was sick, I was broke, I was in Rome, I had no way to get home and I could barely speak the language. I was surrounded by people I could not get help from. I felt very alienated and so it was very easy for me to imagine a machine with a gun. At the point of the greatest alienation in my life, it was easy to create the character."
[on Robert Patrick's casting as the T-1000 in 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day'] "I wanted someone who was extremely fast and agile. If the T-800 is a human Panzer tank, then the T-1000 is a Porsche."

ساندرا همانند بازیگران بزرگی چون جورج کلونی جنیفر آنیستون و وینس واگون و...کارش را با فعالیت در تلویزیون دنبال کرد که از آن میان می توان به مجموعه های مرد شش ملیون دلاری و زن اتمی درسال 1989 اشاره کرد که او را به لوس آنجلس معرفی کرد و حتی نقشی که قرار بود ملانی گریفیت در نسخه تلویزیونی دختر کاری ایفا کند از چنگش درمی آورد. اما اولین حضور رسمی و جدی او را باید با بازی در عشق ...شماره 90 محصول 1992 دانست. بولاک این موفقیت را با یک نقش مشابه در چیزی به نام عشق همان سال ادامه می دهد. جالب آنکه موفقیت بزرگ او همان سال درست زمانی روی می دهد که در آخرین دقایق جایگزینی لوری پتی در مرد ویرانگر مقابل سیلوستر استالون می شود در آن فیلم ساندرا لباس بسیار گران قیمتی به تن داشت که خیاطان بسیار برای آن زحمت کشیده بودند وبرازنده ساندرا بود که متاسفانه به خاطر بازیگوشی های ساندرا و سیلوستر از بین رفت ، اگر چه نقش او در مقابل استالون زمانش کوتاه بود و چندان کاری نداشت ، اما مورد توجه تهیه کننده ای به نام جوئل سیلور قرار می گیرد که ا.و را به یان دی بانت کارگردان معرفی می کند . دی بانت در آن هنگام مشغول تست بازیگران مختلف برای فیلم سراسر اکشن سرعت بود اومی گوید برای نقش آنی به دنبال بازیگر قدرتمندی می گردد و با دیدن بولاک سریعا نقش را به او می دهد. بولاک در کنار کیانو ریوز قرار می گیرد ، اما تهیه کننده کار می گوید برای نقش دنبال یک خانم بلوند می گشت با حضور بولاک مخالفت می کند تا اینکه با اصرار های دی بانت نقش به ساندرا می رسد و سرعت ساخته می شود، فیلم که نه تنها به فروش خیره کننده ای دست پیدا کرد بلکه باعث شد تا بولاک به عنوان یک قهرمان خانم شناخته و معروف شود . تاجایی که بولاک در یک مصاحبه گفت من اصلا یک ملیون سال هم فکر نمی کردم که یک اتوبوس درهای موفقیت را برای من باز کند. اما درهای باز شده بولاک به سرعت برای کمدی رومانتیک سال با نام وقتی که خواب بودی پذیرفته می شود فیلم یک موفقیت همزمان تجاری و هنری بود که بولاک آن را با اقتباس سینمایی زمانی برای کشتن اثر جان گریشام ادامه داد که در آن با اشلی جاد و میتومک کوناهی همبازی بود.موفقیت فیلم این مساله را تضمین کرد که دوره لذت بردن بولاک از کار و زندگی فرا رسیده و او حالا به راحتی در آثار دلخواهی چون در میان عشق و جنگ (1996) و « Two » در همان سال بازی کرد. سال 97 همراه شد با دنباله ای بر سرعت که تحت عنوان سرعت 2 (کنترل سفر دریایی) به نمایش در آمد از بخت بد کارشکست خورد اما بولاک تسلیم نشد. همان سال بولاک در کمدی رومانتیک جادوی علمی در مقابل نیکول کیدمن قرار می گیرد فیلم موفقیت دیگری به کارنامه اش می افزاید و بولاک دوباره روی بورس می افتد . نیروهای طبیعت در سال 99 شکست می خورد و بولاک کارها را رها می کند تا سال2000 برسد. در سال2000 او چندین کار را می پذیرد ابتدا کمدی هفت تیرکش خجالتی و بعد 28 روز که هر دو تا حدودی موفق عمل می کنند . به دنبالش در کار موفق دختر شایسته ظاهر می شود که در آن نقش یک مامور اف بی آی را داشت که تحت پوشش شرکت کننده ای در مراسم دختر شایسته آمریکا می خواهد مانع از یک بمب گذاری بشود . سال 2002 در جنایت از روی شماره ایفای نقش می کند
ساندرادر سال 2006 فیلم پر سرو صدای
The Lake Houseرا
در کنار کیانو ریوز بازی کرد که فروش زیادی داشت البته لازم به ذکر است که در این فیلم شهره آغداشلوبازیگر ایرانی بازی کرد که به خاطر این بازی نامزد در یافت اسکار برای نقش مکمل زن شد که نتوانست آن را بگیرد

به گفته بسیاری از بزرگان سینمای هالیوود آنجلینا بازیگر بزرگی است اما ای کا ش کمتر به هرزگی در فیلم هایش می پرداخت.
بعد از لیو تایلر (Live Tyler) آنجلینا جولی تنها هنر پیشه زن نسل خود است که به خاطر لبهایش که آن را از پدرش به ارث برده است شهرت دارد.
آنجلینا جولی ویت فرزند دو هنرپیشه معروف جان ویتJon Voight و مارچلین برترندMarchelin Bertrand در چهارم ژوئن سال 1974 درلس آنجلس به دنیا آمد .
پس از جدایی والدینش مادرش سرپرستی او را به عهده گرفت . پیش از آنکه برای همیشه در نیویورک ساکن شود به همراه مادر و برادرش به شهرهای مختلف از جمله لندن نیویورک و لس آنجلس سفر کرده و در ضمن این مسافرت ها به عنوان یک مدل حرفه ای در شوها شرکت می کرد .
پس از اقامت در نیویورک وارد آموزشگاه تئاتر لی استارزبرگ و پس از آن دانشگاه نیویورک شد .در همین هنگام بازی در تئاتر را به صورت حرفه ای آغاز کرد .
این هنر به زودی اولین فیلم سینمایی خود را با ایفای نقش کوچکی در سال 1993 درفیلم کبرا
در فیلم آبه د در سال 1995 با بازی در Hacker ها توانست نشان دهد که قابلیت های هنری فراوانی در او وجود دارد .Train spottingبا فیلم ساخته جانی لی میلJonny Lee Miller او رسما" به عنوان یک هنرپیشه هالیوود شناخته شد و همین فیلم نیز سبب آشنایی وی با میلر و ازدواج کوتاه مدت آنها شد .
پس از مدتی باحضور در فیلم های متوسط سر انجام جولی توانست با بازی در نقش همسر جورج والاس (Georg Wallace) در فیلم سینمایی تلویزیونی با همین نام در سال 1997 جایزه جهانی گلدن گلاب را ببرد .
با بازی در نقش اول فیلم گیا Gia ساخته شرکت HOB و نامزدی اسکار به عنوان بهترین نقش اول زن جولی تبدیل به یک سوپر استار در دنیای هالیوود شد .

گر چه فیلم به موفقیت مالی و هنری دست نیافت اما سبب نشد که به نام هنری و حرفه ای جولی که توانسته بود در مدت زمان کوتاهی به آن دست یابد حتی کوچکترین صدمه ای وارد شود .
در سال 2000 برای بهترین نقش مکمل در فیلم دختر از هم گسیخته Girl Interrupted و بازی در نقش یک بیمار روحی بالاخره توانست جایزه اسکار را از آن خود کند. یکسال بعد آنجلینا زندگی مشترک خود با بیلی باب تورنتون را شروع کرد .

اگر چه جایزه بانوی شایسته 2000 را نپذیرفت اما در سال 2001 هنگامی که در مهجم مقبره Tomb Raider و در نقش لارا کرافت Lara Craftکه اقتباسی از سری بازی های ویدئویی بود ظاهر شد دیگر نمی توانست از قبول این جایزه امتناع کند .
پس از درخشش در مهاجم مقبره: گهواره ی زندگی (Tomb Raider: Cradle of life2003) به عنوان بهترین هنر پیشه از سوی بینندگان انتخاب شد .
فیلم زندگی یا چیزی شبیه به آن (Life or something like it 2002) که یک داستان کمدی رمانتیک بود نیز از سوی منتقدان و بینندگان به عنوان یکی از بهترین نقش های آنجلینا پذیرفته شد .

سرانجام جولی سال 2004 را با قرض دادن صدایش به شرکت انیمیشن سازی Dream Work در فیلم داستان کوسه Sharks tale به پایان رساند .
آنجلینا جولی ژانویه ی 2005 را با فیلم آقآ و خانم اسمیت آغاز خواهد کرد.

در کودکي به خواندن نمايشنامه علاقه نشان مي داد. او در جشنواره اي در سال 1981 روبان سبزرنگي را بر يقه اش زده بود که بعدها اين به صورت يک سنت درآمد. اين روبان ياد بودي بود براي هزاران کودک آفريقايي آمريکايي که در قتلهاي زنجيره اي ATLANTA, GEORGIA قرباني شدند (1981-1980). اين روبان را يکي از طرفدارانش به او داده بود ، خانواده هاي قربانيان ماهها اين روبان ها را داشتند.
در فيلم فرانک اشتاين نقش اصلي را ايفا کرد. تبديل کردن او به يک شخص عظيم الجثه مستلزم مهارت هاي بسيار زيادي بود چون KENNETH BRANAGH که نقش دکتر فرانک اشتاين را بازي مي کرد با او هم قد بود بسياري از حقه هاي سينمايي که بعدها در فيلم ارباب حلقه ها براي بزرگ جلوه دادن افراد جادوگرها و غول ها به کار رفت ، قبلا در فيلم فرانک اشتاين براي عظيم الجثه نشان دادن دنيرو در برابر بقيه بازيگران به کار گرفته شده بود.

Prior to that he served a mandatory one year in the Austrian military (beginning in 1965). After conquering the world as arguably the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived, he went to America to make his name in motion pictures. Hampered by his impossible name and thick accent, success eluded him for many years. It wasn't until he found the tailor-made role of Conan that he truly came into his own as a performer.

In 2003, ten years after this film's release, Schwarzenegger ran for the office of Governor of California, and won the election on 7 October 2003. While Schwarzenegger is not eligible to run for the presidency by present laws (as a naturalized citizen, not a native-born citizen as required by the Constitution), most past presidents have been governors of their respective home states. Some members of Congress are currently considering an amendment to the Constitution to allow foreign-born US citizens to be allowed to run for the Presidency, specifically with Schwarzenegger in mind, although other members of Congress are strongly opposed to the idea.Had one elder brother, Meinhard (1946-1971).His mother was Aurelia Jadrny (1922 - 2 August 1998) and his father was Gustav Schwarzenegger (Graz, 1907 - 1973), married in Murzsteg, 20 October 1945. His mother's surname is Czech.Was elected Governor of California as a Republican on 7 October 2003.Turned down the role of John McClane in Die Hard (1988). The role went to Bruce Willis instead.TV Guide selected Arnold Schwarzenegger's announcement on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (1992) to run for Governor of California as the greatest TV moment of 2003.Said that filming the climatic fight at the end of Predator (1987) was made difficult by the fact that the late Kevin Peter Hall, who played the Predator, couldn't see through his mask.Has the record for winning the most major bodybuilding events in history, 13 (1 Mr. Junior Western Europe, 7 Mr. Olympias, and 5 Mr. Universes).After he had started lifting weights as a teenager, he noticed that his body was becoming disproportionate. His arms, shoulders and chest were developing nicely, but his calves and lower legs weren't coming along as he wanted. To motivate himself to work harder on his calves, he cut off all of his pants (trousers) at the knee. Walking around like that, people would look at (and maybe even laugh at) the big man with 'chicken' legs. It worked.His father, Gustav Schwarzenegger, nicknamed him "Cinderella" as a child and his older brother, Meinhard, constantly picked on him growing up. Both men were killed while driving under the influence.Is one of only two actors to appear in all three of the 'Terminator' films (_The Terminator (1984)_ , Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)).

Bush the weekend before his re-election in Ohio, as Schwarzenegger has always had a strong relationship with Ohio.He was voted the 53rd Greatest Movie Star of all time by Entertainment Weekly.Has played a character who died in only four of his films: _Terminator, The (1984)_ , Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), End of Days (1999) and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003).Was considered for the role of the gentle giant Fezzik in the 1970s when William Goldman's book "The Princess Bride" was first proposed to be made into a film (The Princess Bride (1987)).Had his first romantic scene in a movie with actress Sandahl Bergman, in Conan the Barbarian (1982).Is good friends with fellow bodybuilder Sven-Ole Thorsen...who, ironically, portrayed "Thorgrim," one of his leading foes in _Conan the Barbarian (1982)_ .Turned down a request to reprise his Conan character in Kull the Conqueror (1997) (originally titled "Conan the Conqueror"). Also, he was supposed to play Conan in Red Sonja (1985), though ultimately, a new character was created who was essentially Conan in everything but name.Is the only person to receive Razzie nominations for Worst Actor, Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Screen Couple (with himself cloned) in the same year. All for the same movie, The 6th Day (2000).In German, the word "schwarzen" means "black," and "egger" means "ploughman." So "Schwarzenegger" is "Black Ploughman."His life strangely mirrors the life of Conan from _Conan the Barbarian (1982)_ . Conan was born in a small village and grew up to be a physically powerful man from years of slavery.

Ironically, Jones had to temporarily get rid of his own Texas accent for said role.While filming Predator (1987) he became close friends with co- star Jesse Ventura, who was also later elected a state governor (Minnesota).John Milius originally intended him to do the narration of Conan the Barbarian (1982) but the studio didn't trust his accent, so the narration was performed by Mako instead, who played the wizard.Withdrew from the city of Graz the right to use his name in association with its soccer stadium and returned his "Ehrenring" (ring of honor) after some politicians in the town had started a campaign against Schwarzenegger due to his refusal to stop the execution of convicted killer Stanley Tookie Williams (20 December 2005).The Green Party of Austria has resolved to strip Schwarzenegger of his Austrian citizenship due to his support for the death penalty.On 12 December 2005, Governor Schwarzenegger refused to grant clemency to quadruple murderer and former gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams, who had been on Death Row for 24 years.He was soundly defeated on all four propositions of his "special election" in November 2005, which cost the state of California an estimated $45 million.

When I was fifteen, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me."[Interview in "Starlog" magazine in 1091, explaining his reluctance to do sequels to most of his successful films from the '80s] "There's so little time to do all the things I want to do that I can't see any reason to get bogged down in sequels.""Everything I have ever done in my life has always stayed. I've just added to it...But I will not change. Because when you are successful and you change, you are an idiot.""I know that if you leave dishes in the sink, they get sticky and hard to wash the next day.""I would rather be Governor of California than own Austria.""I love the Hong Kong style of action movies, but that only looks good for small guys. The reason why the whole style was developed over there was because those guys were very puny guys - they're not powerful-looking guys, they're also not powerful guys. There's no weight lifting champion coming out of Hong Kong - maybe in the bantam division or the lightweight division or something like that, but normally you don't have really strong men coming out of there...they had to learn a technique that small people can do that are as effective as the big guy's strength. So that's where the martial arts came from.""In the beginning I was selfish. It was all about, 'How do I build Arnold? How can I win the most Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympic contests? How can I get into the movies and get into business?' I was thinking about myself...As I've grew up, got older, maybe wiser, I think your life is judged not by how much you have taken but by how much you give back."[during his campaign for California governor, about his history of "misbehavior"] "Where I did make mistakes, or maybe go overboard sometimes . . . I regret that. This is a different Arnold."[on his fight scenes with the female T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)] "How many times do you get away with this - to take a woman, grab her upside down and bury her face in a toilet bowl? The thing is you can do it, because, in the end, I didn't do it to a woman - she's a machine. We could get away with it without being crucified by who knows what group."[on his decision to run for governor of California] "It was the most difficult decision in my life - except the one in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax."[after being pelted with an egg at a political rally] "This guy owes me bacon now...you can't have egg without bacon."[responding to criticism during a televised debate] "I just realized I have the perfect part for you in Terminator 4."[victory speech after having won election as Governor of California] "I will not fail, I will not disappoint you, I will not let you down.""The worst I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.""There's a lot of people who want me to get out of acting and want me to run for governor. I think it's mostly movie critics.""You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.""I took more abuse in Predator (1987) than I did in Conan the Barbarian (1982). I fell down that waterfall [forty feet] and swam in this ice-cold water for days and for weeks was covered in mud. It was freezing in the Mexican jungle. They had these heat lamps on all the time, but they were no good. If you stayed in front of the lamps, the mud dried. Then, you had to take it off and put new mud on again. It was a no-win situation. The location was tough. Never on flat ground. Always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible".[referring to Democrats at a political rally in Ontario, California, in 2004] "If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers . . . if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men."[at the 3004 Republican National Convention] "Speaking of acting, one of my movies was called True Lies (1994). It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.""President Bush knows you can't reason with people that are blinded by hate. But let me tell you something: Their hate is no match for our decency, their hate is no match for the leadership and the resolve of George W. Bush".[Talking about his Conan the Barbarian (1982) director]: "John Milius used to call himself the dog trainer. Guess who were the dogs?".[From an interview about his reaction to reading the original The Terminator (1984) screenplay] "I have read a lot of action adventure scripts, and this definitely was one of the best. I knew that I wanted to play the part of the Terminator as soon as I started reading."[About being taken seriously]: "I don't care. The important thing to me is that I'm doing work that people enjoy out there, that the movie makes good money, that the studio makes the money back, and that I'm having a great time at what I'm doing. I don't even consider myself serious. So how do I expect people to take me serious? I think this whole Hollywood thing has to be taken much looser... it's just entertainment.""There were various stepping-stones in my career. One of them was Conan the Barbarian (1982), because it was the first time I did a film with that kind of budget and I had the title role. The next big stepping-stone was The Terminator (1984). With "The Terminator", I think people became aware of the fact that I didn't really have to take my shirt off or run around and expose my muscles in order to sell tickets. After I did "The Terminator" and we had seen it be more successful than the Conan films, people then sent me a variety of different kinds of scripts - all in the action-adventure genre, but they were not muscle movies or Viking movies or pirate movies or anything like that."[Talking about playing the Terminator]: "I had to act like a cyborg, which meant I couldn't show any kind of human fear or reaction to the fire, explosions, or gunfire that was going off around me. That can be difficult when you're walking through a door with its frame on fire, trying to reload a gun, and at the same time thinking in the back of your mind that people have accidents doing these kinds of stunts and that it might be my turn."[About more sequels to The Terminator (1984)] "I don't necessarily want to leave the magic of the 'Terminator' movies behind, and who says we have to? According to what we know about the future, there were hundreds of Terminators built. The story of the Terminator could go on forever."[From an interview expressing concern over making Conan the Destroyer (1984) less brutal than its predecessor, Conan the Barbarian (1982)] "I think it's a mistake. I know Sylvester Stallone made an extra $20 million because he got a PG rating for Rocky III (1982), but it's a matter of how much you want to stay within the character's reality. Can you slaughter people and never see blood? Is it possible? You must have battles. That's part of life, war, and the world of Conan."[Talking about director Richard Fleischer]: "The first day Fleischer came to see me work out, he told me, 'Arnold, could you put on some more muscles?' I couldn't believe it! It turned out that Fleischer thought [John Milius'] decision to keep Conan clothed throughout the first film was a mistake. Fleischer believes that people want to see my body much more often than they did the first time around, so they will. I spend most of my time in Conan the Destroyer (1984) fighting off people while I'm dressed in a loincloth."[About the dog accident while making Conan the Barbarian (1982)] "One of them hit me too soon. It caught me off guard and I went right over the ledge. I fell ten feet and landed on my back. I was covered with scratches and bruises. It was probably a pretty good beginning for this movie, though. It set the tone for the whole time we were there. This was going to be fun . . . but dangerous."[Talking about director John Milius]: "There never would have been a Conan movie without him."[on Warren Beatty] "There are some people who are close to him that say he is just starving for attention, and that's the way he gets attention. Other people said, 'Look, he's not working and he just feels like he should maybe get involved in politics'. Instead, I just think that maybe he is jealous that I did jump in. I find it silly, because I respect his work.""Well, I think because a lot of people don't know why I'm a Republican, I came first of all from a socialistic country which is Austria and when I came over here in 1968 with the presidential elections coming up in November, I came over in October, I heard a lot of the press conferences from both of the candidates, [Hubert H. Humphrey] and [Richard Nixon], and Humphrey was talking about more government is the solution, protectionism, and everything he said about government involvement sounded to me more like Austrian socialism. Then when I heard Nixon talk about it, he said open up the borders, the consumers should be represented there ultimately and strengthen the military and get the government off our backs. I said to myself, 'What is this guy's party affiliation?' I didn't know anything at that point. So I asked my friend, 'What is Nixon?' He's a Republican. And I said, 'I am a Republican'. That's how I became a Republican."[On refusing to grant clemency to condemned killer Stanley Tookie Williams] "After studying the evidence, searching the history, listening to the arguments and wrestling with the profound consequences, I could find no justification for granting clemency. The facts do not justify overturning the jury's verdict, or the decisions of the courts in this case."[After undergoing heart surgery in 1997] "We made, actually, history, because it was the first time ever that doctors could prove that a lifelong Republican has a heart.""As a kid - as a kid I saw socialist - the socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left. Now don't misunderstand me: I love Austria and I love the Austrian people. But I always knew that America was the place for me. In school, when the teacher would talk about America, I would daydream about coming here. I would daydream about living here. I would sit there and watch for hours American movies, transfixed by my heroes, like John Wayne. Everything about America -- Everything about America seemed so big to me, so open, so possible.""I have no sexual standards in my head that say this is good or this is bad. Homosexual - that only means to me that he enjoys sex with a man and I enjoy sex with a woman. It's all legitimate to me.""I didn't think about money. I thought about the fame, about just being the greatest. I was dreaming about being some dictator of a country or some savior like Jesus.""I'm 6' 2". I've heard rumors that I'm really much shorter in real life - like 5' 6" or something like that - which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case. People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community. I mean, most people really look up to me.""California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming. We won't wait for the federal government. We will move forward because we know it's the right thing to do. We will lead on this issue and we will get other western states involved. I think there's not great leadership from the federal government when it comes to protecting the environment.""Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.""I have to give the audiences what they enjoy seeing while I try to bring in a little something new, with different movies, different time periods and all those things. But what's important is to entertain the people -- everything else means nothing."

Prior to that he served a mandatory one year in the Austrian military (beginning in 1965). After conquering the world as arguably the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived, he went to America to make his name in motion pictures. Hampered by his impossible name and thick accent, success eluded him for many years. It wasn't until he found the tailor-made role of Conan that he truly came into his own as a performer. A succession of over-the-top action films made him an international box office star. By alternating violent action films with lighter, comedic fare, he has solidified his position as one of the most popular - if not the most popular - movie stars in the world.

His arms, shoulders and chest were developing nicely, but his calves and lower legs weren't coming along as he wanted.

When I was fifteen, I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. When I stared at myself naked, I realized that to be perfectly proportioned I would need twenty-inch arms to match the rest of me."[Interview in "Starlog" magazine in 1091, explaining his reluctance to do sequels to most of his successful films from the '80s] "There's so little time to do all the things I want to do that I can't see any reason to get bogged down in sequels.""Everything I have ever done in my life has always stayed. I've just added to it...But I will not change. Because when you are successful and you change, you are an idiot.""I know that if you leave dishes in the sink, they get sticky and hard to wash the next day.""I would rather be Governor of California than own Austria.""I love the Hong Kong style of action movies, but that only looks good for small guys. The reason why the whole style was developed over there was because those guys were very puny guys - they're not powerful-looking guys, they're also not powerful guys. There's no weight lifting champion coming out of Hong Kong - maybe in the bantam division or the lightweight division or something like that, but normally you don't have really strong men coming out of there...they had to learn a technique that small people can do that are as effective as the big guy's strength. So that's where the martial arts came from.""In the beginning I was selfish. It was all about, 'How do I build Arnold? How can I win the most Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympic contests? How can I get into the movies and get into business?' I was thinking about myself...As I've grew up, got older, maybe wiser, I think your life is judged not by how much you have taken but by how much you give back."[during his campaign for California governor, about his history of "misbehavior"] "Where I did make mistakes, or maybe go overboard sometimes . . . I regret that. This is a different Arnold."[on his fight scenes with the female T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)] "How many times do you get away with this - to take a woman, grab her upside down and bury her face in a toilet bowl? The thing is you can do it, because, in the end, I didn't do it to a woman - she's a machine. We could get away with it without being crucified by who knows what group."[on his decision to run for governor of California] "It was the most difficult decision in my life - except the one in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax."[after being pelted with an egg at a political rally] "This guy owes me bacon now...you can't have egg without bacon."[responding to criticism during a televised debate] "I just realized I have the perfect part for you in Terminator 4."[victory speech after having won election as Governor of California] "I will not fail, I will not disappoint you, I will not let you down.""The worst I can be is the same as everybody else. I hate that.""There's a lot of people who want me to get out of acting and want me to run for governor. I think it's mostly movie critics.""You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn.""I took more abuse in Predator (1987) than I did in Conan the Barbarian (1982). I fell down that waterfall [forty feet] and swam in this ice-cold water for days and for weeks was covered in mud. It was freezing in the Mexican jungle. They had these heat lamps on all the time, but they were no good. If you stayed in front of the lamps, the mud dried. Then, you had to take it off and put new mud on again. It was a no-win situation. The location was tough. Never on flat ground. Always on a hill. We stood all day long on a hill, one leg down, one leg up. It was terrible".[referring to Democrats at a political rally in Ontario, California, in 2004] "If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers . . . if they don't have the guts, I call them girlie men."[at the 3004 Republican National Convention] "Speaking of acting, one of my movies was called True Lies (1994). It's what the Democrats should have called their convention.""President Bush knows you can't reason with people that are blinded by hate. But let me tell you something: Their hate is no match for our decency, their hate is no match for the leadership and the resolve of George W. Bush".[Talking about his Conan the Barbarian (1982) director]: "John Milius used to call himself the dog trainer. Guess who were the dogs?".[From an interview about his reaction to reading the original The Terminator (1984) screenplay] "I have read a lot of action adventure scripts, and this definitely was one of the best. I knew that I wanted to play the part of the Terminator as soon as I started reading."[About being taken seriously]: "I don't care. The important thing to me is that I'm doing work that people enjoy out there, that the movie makes good money, that the studio makes the money back, and that I'm having a great time at what I'm doing. I don't even consider myself serious. So how do I expect people to take me serious? I think this whole Hollywood thing has to be taken much looser... it's just entertainment.""There were various stepping-stones in my career. One of them was Conan the Barbarian (1982), because it was the first time I did a film with that kind of budget and I had the title role. The next big stepping-stone was The Terminator (1984). With "The Terminator", I think people became aware of the fact that I didn't really have to take my shirt off or run around and expose my muscles in order to sell tickets. After I did "The Terminator" and we had seen it be more successful than the Conan films, people then sent me a variety of different kinds of scripts - all in the action-adventure genre, but they were not muscle movies or Viking movies or pirate movies or anything like that."[Talking about playing the Terminator]: "I had to act like a cyborg, which meant I couldn't show any kind of human fear or reaction to the fire, explosions, or gunfire that was going off around me. That can be difficult when you're walking through a door with its frame on fire, trying to reload a gun, and at the same time thinking in the back of your mind that people have accidents doing these kinds of stunts and that it might be my turn."[About more sequels to The Terminator (1984)] "I don't necessarily want to leave the magic of the 'Terminator' movies behind, and who says we have to? According to what we know about the future, there were hundreds of Terminators built. The story of the Terminator could go on forever."[From an interview expressing concern over making Conan the Destroyer (1984) less brutal than its predecessor, Conan the Barbarian (1982)] "I think it's a mistake. I know Sylvester Stallone made an extra $20 million because he got a PG rating for Rocky III (1982), but it's a matter of how much you want to stay within the character's reality. Can you slaughter people and never see blood? Is it possible? You must have battles. That's part of life, war, and the world of Conan."[Talking about director Richard Fleischer]: "The first day Fleischer came to see me work out, he told me, 'Arnold, could you put on some more muscles?' I couldn't believe it! It turned out that Fleischer thought [John Milius'] decision to keep Conan clothed throughout the first film was a mistake. Fleischer believes that people want to see my body much more often than they did the first time around, so they will. I spend most of my time in Conan the Destroyer (1984) fighting off people while I'm dressed in a loincloth."[About the dog accident while making Conan the Barbarian (1982)] "One of them hit me too soon. It caught me off guard and I went right over the ledge. I fell ten feet and landed on my back. I was covered with scratches and bruises. It was probably a pretty good beginning for this movie, though. It set the tone for the whole time we were there. This was going to be fun . . . but dangerous."[Talking about director John Milius]: "There never would have been a Conan movie without him."[on Warren Beatty] "There are some people who are close to him that say he is just starving for attention, and that's the way he gets attention. Other people said, 'Look, he's not working and he just feels like he should maybe get involved in politics'. Instead, I just think that maybe he is jealous that I did jump in. I find it silly, because I respect his work.""Well, I think because a lot of people don't know why I'm a Republican, I came first of all from a socialistic country which is Austria and when I came over here in 1968 with the presidential elections coming up in November, I came over in October, I heard a lot of the press conferences from both of the candidates, [Hubert H. Humphrey] and [Richard Nixon], and Humphrey was talking about more government is the solution, protectionism, and everything he said about government involvement sounded to me more like Austrian socialism. Then when I heard Nixon talk about it, he said open up the borders, the consumers should be represented there ultimately and strengthen the military and get the government off our backs. I said to myself, 'What is this guy's party affiliation?' I didn't know anything at that point. So I asked my friend, 'What is Nixon?' He's a Republican. And I said, 'I am a Republican'. That's how I became a Republican."[On refusing to grant clemency to condemned killer Stanley Tookie Williams] "After studying the evidence, searching the history, listening to the arguments and wrestling with the profound consequences, I could find no justification for granting clemency. The facts do not justify overturning the jury's verdict, or the decisions of the courts in this case."[After undergoing heart surgery in 1997] "We made, actually, history, because it was the first time ever that doctors could prove that a lifelong Republican has a heart.""As a kid - as a kid I saw socialist - the socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left. Now don't misunderstand me: I love Austria and I love the Austrian people. But I always knew that America was the place for me. In school, when the teacher would talk about America, I would daydream about coming here. I would daydream about living here. I would sit there and watch for hours American movies, transfixed by my heroes, like John Wayne. Everything about America -- Everything about America seemed so big to me, so open, so possible.""I have no sexual standards in my head that say this is good or this is bad. Homosexual - that only means to me that he enjoys sex with a man and I enjoy sex with a woman. It's all legitimate to me.""I didn't think about money. I thought about the fame, about just being the greatest. I was dreaming about being some dictator of a country or some savior like Jesus.""I'm 6' 2". I've heard rumors that I'm really much shorter in real life - like 5' 6" or something like that - which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case. People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community. I mean, most people really look up to me.""California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming. We won't wait for the federal government. We will move forward because we know it's the right thing to do. We will lead on this issue and we will get other western states involved. I think there's not great leadership from the federal government when it comes to protecting the environment.""Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.""I have to give the audiences what they enjoy seeing while I try to bring in a little something new, with different movies, different time periods and all those things. But what's important is to entertain the people -- everything else means nothing."
