Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born on January 3, 1956, in Peekskill, New York, USA as the sixth of eleven children to parents Hutton Gibson, a railroad brakeman, and Ann Gibson, whowas born in Australia and died in December of 1990. Though born in the US, Mel and his family moved to New South Wales, Australia. After high school, Mel studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, performing at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts alongside future film thespians Judy Davis and Geoffrey Rush. After college, Mel had a few stints on stage and starred in a few TVshows. Eventually, he was chosen to star in Mad Max: Salvajes de la autopista (1979) and in a movie called Tim (1979), co-starring Piper Laurie. The small budgeted movie Mad Max: Salvajes de la autopista (1979) made him known worldwide, while Tim (1979) garnered him an award for Best Actor from the Australian Film Institute (equivalent to the Oscar). Later, he went on to star in Gallipoli (1981),which earned him a second award for Best Actor from the AFI. In 1980, he married Robyn Moore and had seven children. In 1984, Mel made his American debut in Motín a bordo (1984), which co-starred Anthony Hopkins. Then in 1987, Mel starred in what would become his signature series, Arma letal (1987), in which he played "Martin Riggs". In 1990, he took on the interesting starring role in Hamlet (Elhonor de la venganza) (1990/I), which garnered him some critical praise. He also made the more endearing Eternamente joven (1992) and the somewhat disturbing El hombre sin rostro (1993). 1995 brought his most famous role as "Sir William Wallace" in Braveheart (1995), for which he won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. From there, he made such box office hits as El patriota (2000), Rescate(1996), and Payback (1999/I). Today, Mel remains an international superstar mogul, continuously topping the Hollywood power lists as well as the Most Beautiful and Sexiest lists.
