Richard Gere has entertained the world for over 50 years.
Though he's had one of the most admirable careers in Hollywood, Gere comes from humble beginnings, having been born in a working-class family in Philadelphia. Still, his love for film allowed him to travel the world as he got his early start performing in theaters in London in the '70s.
Decades later, the actor is now known for his riveting performances in films such as An Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman, Sommersby, Runaway Bride, and many others. And, he's also managed to snag a Golden Globe and SAG Award along the way.
