Hey Moviegoers, this is our second Blog post related to "Moviegoers' Star of the Week". We'll be posting every Monday, randomly, about 1 of the 50 most famous Hollywood Stars and share with you his/her TOP 7 Movies of all time.

This week, Moviegoers' Star was born in Manhattan, New York City, on April 25 1940 and was raised in South Bronx after his parents got divorced when he was young. He was always repeating the plots and voices of characters he had seen in the movies and was only interested in school plays at school. He went through a period of depression and poverty while having a full-time career onstage and sometimes he had to borrow bus fare to succeed to auditions. He made it into the prestigious Actors Studio in 1966, studying under Lee Strasberg, creator of the Method Approach. He had his film debut in Me, Natalie (1969) after appearing in a string of plays in supporting roles and winning several awards.

You might have guessed the Hollywood Star by now, if not, it's Al Pacino!
