Al Pacino | Born 1940

What else is there to say about Al Pacino? At 82, he shows no signs of hiding from the public any time soon—as if he could ever genuinely leave. Despite not routinely appearing in works that won awards, he continued to work in film, television, and theater throughout the decade. With recent credit as Aldo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, he has continued this job into his early

octogenarian years.

Pacino gained notoriety for his iconic roles in several timeless movies, such as The Godfather, Scarface, and Glengarry Glen Ross. He rose to fame in the New Hollywood era of the early 1970s. He may lack the traditional traits of leading males from Tinseltown’s earlier heydays, but he captivated viewers with compelling performances. Despite his unwillingness to discuss his personal life, maintained a long, successful career in which he pulled off the most improbable of acting feats.
