Chicago Actors Are All Over The Globe

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.

Jennifer Beals comes from a very mixed background since her mother is Caucasian and her father was black. This young woman struggled all of her life since she had a diverse history. She finally became famous when she starred in a movie named "Flashdance." After the film became successful Ms. Beals went on to other projects.

Everyone loves the wonderful actor named Harrison Ford since he has been around for such a long time. This man has become a millionaire because of his very popular movies. No one around the world could ever forget his portrayal of Indiana Jones. This character was first introduced in 1981 and has been featured in several movies.

Harrison was always proud of his Illinois heritage and he tells everyone about his struggles while growing up. He almost gave up on acting when a producer stated that he really had no talent. This made him more determined than ever to be the best thespian around.

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.
