    Arnold Schwarzenegger: A Short Bio

    Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger born in Austria is a very versatile


    actor along with being a great bodybuilder and now a politician
    and the Governor of California. He was the second son of his
    parents. His father being a police officer taught him great values
    and brought him up in a very strict and disciplined environment.

    Arnold had a great sports personality like his father. He had an


    ambition to be a body builder from his childhood and thus he
    began bodybuilding at the age of fifteen when he joined the
    soccer team of Austria. At the age of eighteen, in 1965 he joined
    the army and that's when he became serious about his body
    and started taking a strict diet. While in the army he took part in
    the Mr. Junior Europe contest in 1965 and won the competition.
    From then on there was no looking back for him. He won
    enormous number of professional titles after which he went to
    take part in the 1968 Mr. Universe competition. He won that
    one too and also became the youngest winner, at the age of
    twenty. He even won the Mr. Olympia titles consecutively for
    six years but lost to Sergio Oliva when he competed for the first
    time. He was given the nickname "The Austrian Oak" for his
    great body. He then left the competition saying that he wanted
    to give a chance to other talents too. George Butler made a
    documentary on Arnold's body building training named
    Pumping Iron. Besides body building being his ultimate dream,
    he entered Hollywood with his first movie "Hercules Goes to
    New York" in the year 1970. He won the Golden Globe Award
    for best new actor for his performance in the movie Stay
    Hungry, in 1976. His character in "Conan" movie required him to
    train vigorously and all the horse riding, sword training and
    running made him so strong that he required only eight weeks
    training for the competition. This time too, he won it. But it led
    to a controversy that the competition didn't support talent but
    popularity.

    Arnold's movies didn't click at the box office until he did


    "Terminator" in 1984, which was followed by other hits like
    "Twins", "Total Recall", "Commando" and "Kindergarten Cop".
    He started a construction firm whose profits were used to fund
    another small business of mail order of fitness material such as
    books and videocassettes. He even got a degree in business and
    international economics from the Wisconsin University to take
    his business to a further higher level. Within few years was
    living a luxurious life. He even wrote articles for body building
    magazines, Muscle & Fitness, and Flex. After being appointed as
    the governor he was promoted as the executive editor of both
    the magazines.

    His first affair was with Barbara Outland Baker who was an
    English teacher but they split in 1974. After that Arnold dated
    Maria Shriver, niece of former president John F. Kennedy for
    eight years and then got married to her in 1986 and they live
    together ever since then and the couple have four children. In
    August 2003 he announced his decision to stand for the
    elections of Governor of California. He was elected on October
    7, 2003 and he replaced Gary Davis with nearly 3.4 million votes
    in his favor. He was re-elected again in November 2006. He is a
    republican. He was ranked among the top hundred people who
    shaped the world by time. He continues to perform his duty as
    the Governor of California and is being lauded for bringing in
    many reforms.
