Alec Baldwin 2

Within a year, Alec was making the credits on such shows as NBC's 'The Doctors' and CBS's 'Knots Landing.' Not long after, he was launching his career as a film star, in 'Forever Lulu,' 'Beetle Juice,' and 'Married to the Mob.'Over seventy film, television, and stage credits and nearly a dozen producing and directorial efforts later, Alec Baldwin has earned star status, as well as a Tony nomination for his revival of Stanley Kowalski in 'Streetcar Named Desire;' Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for the same role (televised); an Obie for his performance in Off-Broadway version of 'Prelude to a Kiss;' a Theatre World Award, for his work in 'Loot;' an Academy Award nomination for his characterization in 'The Cooler;' and a Writer's Guild Award for his production company's, Eldorado Pictures', collaboration on 'The Confession.'



Besides being an esteemed performer, Alec Baldwin is notably one of Hollywood's most involved proactivists, as well'vociferous and high profile is he in his efforts in and support of the arts, the environment, campaign finance reform, animal rights, gun control, breast cancer research, and those causes championed by boards and panels on which he serves.



So, Alec Baldwin's beauty is only one part of the equation of integral contributions he makes to the entertainment world in particular and the social and political and humanitarian public in general.
