Bill Murray is an American actor, comedian and writer. The fifth of nine children, he was born as William James Murray in Willamette, Illinois, to Lucille (Collins), a postal clerk, and Edward Joseph Murray II, who sold lumber. He was of Irish descent. Among his siblings are actors Brian Doyle-Murray, Joel Murray, and John Murray. He and most of his siblings worked as valets, which paid for his education at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit school. While attending this school, he played sports and took acting classes, but in his own words, he mostly "kicked back." He enrolled at Regis College in Denver to study medicine, but dropped out after being arrested for marijuana possession. He then joined the National Lampoon Radio Hour with his colleagues Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner and John Belushi. While these three became the original members of Saturday Night Live (1975), he joined Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell (1975), which premiered the same year. After that show flopped, he later got the opportunity to join Saturday Night Live (1975), for which he won his first Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy-Entertainment or Music Series. He later starred in comedy films including Meatballs (1979), Caddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Tootsie (1982), Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II (1989), Scrooged (1988), What About Bob? (1991) and Groundhog Day (1993). He also co-directed the film Quick Change (1990). Later in his career, Murray received additional critical acclaim starring in Lost in Translation (2003), which earned him a Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Actor, as well as an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He also received Golden Globe nominations for his roles in Ghostbusters, Rushmore (1998), Hyde Park on the Hudson (2012), St. Vincent (2014), and the HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge (2014), for which he later won his second Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. - И.И. превод
