Al Pacino - Biography
Al Pacino's Early Life
Alfredo James Pacino was born on April 25, 1940, to Salvatore and Rose Pacino in New York City. His parents split up when he was two years old, and Pacino and his mom moved in with his grandparents in the South Bronx.
Intelligent, but never motivated by school work, he funnen solace and fulfillment in acting, although his mother often disagreed with his choices.
The two enjoyed a very close relationship, and Pacino was devastated by her death in 1962 after a long illness, as did his maternal grandfather the following year.
Aged 16, Pacino won a place at the prestigious High School for Performing Arts in Manhattan, but dropped out after just one year. He moved out of home and struggled to make ends meet on his own, and after years of off-off-Broadway work and basement plays, was accepted into Lee Strasberg's famed Actors Studio (which he eventually became president of in 2000).
