Arnold Schwarzenegger

It was the ultimate testosterone-filled American Dream. A kid from a modest background in Austria moves to Hollywood, and turns a burgeoning career in bodybuilding into a series of increasingly successful movie deals -- and himself into a major Hollywood star. And, having conquered Tinseltown, he then marries into American royalty and is elected governor of California -- amid buzz of a a Constitutional amendment allowing him to run for the White House. In May 2011, much of that American Dream fell apart for Arnold Schwarzenegger when his wife, Maria Shriver, separated from him, and he admitted to having fathered a child with a member of his household staff. But in the beginning, there was just Arnold, his muscles, and his dreams of success. (Life - Your World in Pictures)
