William Bradley Pitt, eldest son of William and Jane Pitt was born on December 18, 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Shortly after his birth the family moved to Springfield Missouri, where Brad grew up, attending local schools and graduating from Kickapoo High in 1982.

The true Brad Pitt biography begins when Brad was attending the University of Missouri, majoring in Journalism. With less than a semester remaining to obtain his Bachelors, Brad decided to pursue his real passion and leave school for an acting career in Hollywood. His early love of movies and television was likely the inspiration behind his decision as he longed to become a movie star.

That lifelong dream would eventually come true for Brad as in 1991 he received a big break in the film Thelma and Louise, which propelled him not only into stardom as an actor, but as a sex symbol as well. Since that time, Brad has been the cover feature on more than 150 magazines (including a spread in Playgirl), and has been voted sexiest man alive more than once.

From 1995-1997, Brad and Gwyneth Paltrow were engaged. In 1998 while filming an episode of Friends, Brad and co-star Jennifer Aniston began dating, eventually getting married in 2000. In January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced their formal separation, and subsequently they divorced. Having met Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Brad started dating her in the fall of 2005.

A&E’s Biography show was the setting for an authorized Brad Pitt biography in 2004. Although the documentary provided excellent specifics and featured interviews with Brad and his costars, the documentary Brad Pitt biography was a little premature, especially since the major part of Brad’s outstanding achievements and important personal life history occurred after the 2004 airing.

Today, Brad and domestic partner, Angelina share their home with their 6 children, while both are still quite active in the movie industry. A complete Brad Pitt biography will include his recent nomination for an Oscar, only the second such nomination he has received, at the 81st Annual Academy Awards, for his lead role in ‘The Curse of Benjamin Button’.

Even though the future Brad Pitt biography will undoubtedly include the 11 projects he currently has slated for production in the next 3 years, suffice it to say Brad Pitt is more than an icon of Hollywood, he is a superior actor, loving father and the dream idol of many fans worldwide.
