About this person

Arnold Schwarzenegger started lifting weights at 15 and won Mr. Universe at 20, then claimed seven Mr. Olympia titles and became one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The 1977 documentary Pumping Iron opened the door to film, and after Conan the Barbarian in 1982, he became a global action star - The Terminator, Predator, Total Recall, True Lies - his movies grossing over $5.4 billion worldwide. In 2003 he won California's recall election with 48.6 percent of the vote, served as the state's 38th governor until 2011, then returned to acting when he hit his term limit. He remains the last Republican to hold statewide office in California.
