Al Pacino was the only child of two Italian immigrants from Sicily, who separated when he was a baby. After they separated, his father moved to California and Pacino was raised by his mother and grandparents in the Bronx.

Although somewhat shy as a child, in his early teens, Pacino developed an interest in acting and was later admitted to the Performing Arts High School.

However, he showed that he was a poor student, failing in most of his subjects before he finally dropped out of school at the age of 17 years.

In 1962, at the age of 22, he lost his mother, who passed away. He spent several years in extreme poverty and depression ready to kill himself.

He spent several years in extreme poverty and depression, was homeless and consumed a lot of alcohol.

But it would be Pacino's appearance in a popular 1971 film called Panic in Needle Park that would set his career on a path to success. Pacino's portrait of a drugged hero caught the eye of Francis Ford Coppola, who was looking for actors for the movie "The Godfather", based on the novel by Mario Puzo.

Although he had considered stars such as Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson, Coppola eventually chose Pacino, more or less unknown, to play Michael Corleone.

Released in 1972, "The Godfather" was a huge success and is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time.

After that, his career had only ups and downs. He won the "Best Actor" award at the Academy Award in 1992 for his role in "Aroma Gruaje", was nominated 7 times for several other roles and won two "Golden Globe" awards.
