Alec Baldwin- You Need to Know This
Alec Baldwin is perhaps one of the most appealing men around. He has accomplished so much, it's hard to find something that he didn't do extraordinarily. Below is a great article on Alec. It discusses what he's accomplished in his life and some personal information you might find interesting.
Maybe it’s the charming appeal of blue eyes cum rugged looks of Alec Baldwin that sets us to swooning. Maybe it’s the extensive Filmography of a man who blazed the acting trail for brothers Billy, Daniel, and Stephen that impresses us. Maybe it’s his involvement in politics that has us leaning in his direction. Whatever it is, Alec Baldwin has made a mark on our memories and minds that is as indelible as that cleft in his beautiful chin.
Alec’s a Long Island Boy, growing up down the road a piece from Rosie O’Donnell (Baldwin in Massapequa, O’Donnell in Commack). He was raised by his homemaker mother and school teacher father. He started studies at George Washington University, where he originally planned to study law; but “on a dare,” Baldwin auditioned at NYU’s drama program, and changed his life plans when he was accepted in 1979.
Within a year, Alec was making the credits on such shows as NBC’s “The Doctors” and CBS’s “Knots Landing.” Not long after, he was launching his career as a film star, in “Forever Lulu,” “Beetle Juice,” and “Married to the Mob.” Over seventy film, television, and stage credits and nearly a dozen producing and directorial efforts later, Alec Baldwin has earned star status, as well as a Tony nomination for his revival of Stanley Kowalski in “Streetcar Named Desire;” Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the same role (televised); an Obie for his performance in Off-Broadway version of “Prelude to a Kiss;” a Theatre World Award, for his work in “Loot;” an Academy Award nomination for his characterization in “The Cooler;” and a Writer’s Guild Award for his production company’s, Eldorado Pictures’, collaboration on “The Confession.”
Besides being an esteemed performer, Alec Baldwin is notably one of Hollywood’s most involved proactivists, as well—vociferous and high profile is he in his efforts in and support of the arts, the environment, campaign finance reform, animal rights, gun control, breast cancer research, and those causes championed by boards and panels on which he serves.
So, Alec Baldwin’s beauty is only one part of the equation of integral contributions he makes to the entertainment world in particular and the social and political and humanitarian public in general.
As you can see, this guy has done so much that deserves recognition. I hope you enjoyed reading this little article on Alec Baldwin. Maybe it will help you to persue a similar course of life.
