George Hamilton |
George Hamilton (born
August 12,
1939, in
Memphis,
Tennessee) is an
American film and
television actor and occasional film director who lives in
Malibu, California.
Hamilton began his movie career in
1952. As an actor, he is often compared to (and sometimes confused with)
Warren Beatty. He is noted for his perpetual suntan and his colorful private life.
Hamilton was married to actress
Alana Stewart from
1970 to
1975. Their son,
Ashley Hamilton, was born in
1974. He has a younger son named
George Thomas Hamilton with Kimberley Backford.
Hamilton was a semi-regular panelist on the 1998 revival of
Match Game.
In 2003, George hosted
The Family, a reality television series on ABC spanning one season in 2003. It starred ten members from a traditional Italian-American family, who were each fighting for a $1,000,000 prize.
In 2006 the debonair actor competed in the second season of
ABC's "Dancing with the Stars"and was voted off in round 6. At age 66 and recovering from knee injuries, Hamilton - unable to match the limber dance moves of his younger co-stars - charmed the crowd and judges with endearingly silly dances utilizing props including a
Zorro mask and sword from his
1981 film Zorro, The Gay Blade.
