Casa de Clooney       
age 3He was born in Lexington,Kentucky (and named after his Uncle George)- but the family moved a lot according to his father's job schedule. They mostly revolved around Cincinnati, Ohio - where his father was a host of a popular local talk show. He went to high school in Augusta,KY.georgeprom When he was 20, he returned to Lexington to stay with a cousin Miguel Ferrer (who is also an actor) and landed a small part in a movie about horse racing called "And They're Off", which was never released. After shooting the movie, he cut tobacco and sold ladies shoes (look out Al Bundy!). Then he drove across country country in a rusted out Monte Carlo, nicknamed the "Danger Car" because it wouldn't go over 50 m.p.h. and stayed with his Aunt Rosemary in California. He had a year of rejections before he landed his first role in a small feature film (which also was never released). By age 23 however, he was starting to make a name for himself as one of the best looking actors in Hollywood, and was very gainfully employed, even though fifteen TV pilots were never picked up as a series.
In 1989, he married actress Talia Balsam Taliabut they divorced 3 years later. He has since had a series of high profile romances, but says "I'll never be married again, and I'll never have kids."
Clooney's 8 bedroom, 2 story Tudor house provides a safe haven for "the boys". George remains immensely loyal to his pre-fame buddies.
