An extremely talented actor, Bill Murray grew up as a naughty kid in Illinois.
As a child and teenager, he didn’t care much about the studies and was more interested
in attending school theatre and playing golf.
After school, he entered Loyola Academy but once again was more passionate about musicals
he took part in at the academy.
Perhaps, the acting classes he started having at a high-school, helped him to realize what
he really wanted to do in life.
In such a way, he started pursuing acting career.
He became a part of the Second City studio in Chicago, where he got an opportunity to
learn and master his acting gift.
In 1984, he debuted in a movie called Ghostbusters and that’s actually how, when and where
it all started from.
Bill’s father, Edward was a simple man, working as a salesman.
But what distinguished him the most is special talent to upbringing the kids.
He is always described by the actor as the best dad he could have ever had.
Unfortunately, Edward suffered from diabetes and died from it in 1967, aged 46.
This was a real loss for every single member of the family.
The mother, Lucille was not only a mailroom clerk but also a super devoted and supportive
mom to all kids.
She obviously was the heart of a big family, organizing dinners on a regular basis.
She passed away in 1988, at the age of 67 having lost the battle to cancer.
The celebrity has the whole 8 siblings.
Brian is an elder brother, who is also into the moviemaking world, being a screenwriter
and film performer.
But the most important is that it was Brian who made Bill enter the entertainment sphere.
Nancy is an elder sister to the actor.
She is a very religious person, who travels around the USA and not only with a program
telling about St. Catherine of Siena.
The second brother is John.
And it wouldn’t be surprising to say that he is also an actor, who can be seen in Starting
Over, Caddyshack, etc.
The third brother is Joel, who is an actor by profession too.
Additionally to that, he, Brian and Bill own a restaurant called Caddyshack, located in Florida.
The fourth brother is named Edward.
He works in Morgan Stanley, is married and is a father to 3 kids.
Andy is the last and the fifth brother.
He is not into the filmmaking industry.
Instead, works in the Caddyshack restaurant.
Laura is the second sister to the celebrity.
Nothing is known much about her, since she lives quite private life out of the limelight.
The last kid in a family and the third sister to Bill is Peggy.
We don’t know any information about either her personal or professional life.
As for the star’s personal life, it is as interesting and intriguing as his professional
career.
He was known in the Hollywood as the best womanize ever.
So, no wonder he was married twice but is now single again.
His first wife was Margaret Kelly with who he had been married from 1981 till 1996.
During 16 years of a married life, they became parents to two kids.
Nonetheless, this didn’t save the family, as Murray wasn’t a faithful husband.
This was the main ground of a divorce.
Just within a year, in 1997, he walked Jennifer Butler down the aisle.
It would be surprising to know that even before marrying her, the two lovers already had 3
common sons.
In 2008 they divorced.
The reason was the same as in the first marriage - Murray’s numerous affairs.
In total, the famous actor has 6 sons from two previous marriages.
Homer was born in 1982 and became the celebrity’s first kid with Kelly.
At first he worked as an actor but quickly understood it wasn’t his cup of tea and
now he is a bar owner.
The second kid with Kelly, Luke was welcomed in 1985.
Luke also tried his skills in movies but didn’t succeed and is now working as a basketball
coach in a University.
In the second marriage, there are 4 more sons.
In 1993, Caleb was delivered.
He is very passionate about music and everything that is connected with it.
He plays multiple instruments, writes songs and releases albums.
In 1995, Jackson became a wonderful addition to the family.
He is not into the entertainment world.
Instead, he travels across the globe, protecting the rights of animals.
The fifth son, Cooper was welcomed in 1997.
We don’t know what he does for a living, but what we know for sure is that he loves
playing golf.
The last son named Lincoln was born in 2001 and he is a school-boy now.
