Kurt Russell


Kurt Russell : Biography

Born March 17, 1951, in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father, Bing Russell, moved to Hollywood from Maine after an injury ended his baseball career and played the sheriff on Bonanza for fourteen years. When Russell was only nine years old, he started out as a stock player for Disney?s film and TV projects and starred in his own Western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters, alongside the young Osmond brothers, from 1963-64. Over the next ten years, Russell appeared in ten Disney films.Russell shares an extended family with Goldie Hawn: her son and daughter, Oliver and Kate Hudson (Kate is also an actress) from her marriage to Bill Hudson, his son (with Hubley), and their son together, Wyatt. They currently reside in Los Angeles.

Kurt Russell : Career

Kurt Russell landed a part in the Elvis movie, "It Happened at the World's Fair", when he was 10 years old. In 1960, Walt Disney himself signed Russell to a 10 year contract. Once his stint as a child actor ended, Russell spent the early 1970's playing minor league baseball. In 1979, he gave a classic performance as Elvis Presley in John Carpenter's ABC-TV movie. He followed with roles in a string of well-received films: "Used Cars", "Escape from New York", "The Thing" and "Silkwood". In 1983 he met Goldie Hawn when they worked together on "Swing Shift". The two have lived together ever since. The movie was a failure - as was their next one together, "Overboard". During the 1980's, Russell starred in a rash of disappointments: "The Best of Times", "Big Trouble in Little China" and "Winter People". Finally, his career seemed to be seriously stalled. He only landed "Tango and Cash" after Patrick Swayze dropped out; Dennis Quaid was the first choice for the part in "Backdraft". In the end, these two roles were key in re-establishing him as a box-office draw.
