One of the greatest actors in all of film history, Al Pacino established himself during one of film's greatest decades, the 70s, and has become an enduring and iconic figure in the world of American movies. Bored and unmotivated in school, the young Al Pacino found a haven 9 in school plays, and his interest soon blossomed into a full-time 10 career. Pacino finally hit it big with "The Indian Wants the Bronx". After his film debut 11 in Me, Natalie (1969), what came next would change his life forever. The part of Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) was one of the most sought-after roles in film history. In 1992, he finally won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his amazing performance in Scent 12 of a Woman (1992). With his intense and gritty performances, Pacino was an original in the acting 13 profession. His Method approach would become the process of many actors throughout time, and his unbeatable number of classic roles has already made him a legend among film buffs and all aspiring 14 actors and directors. His commitment to acting as a profession and his constant screen dominance has established him as one of movies' legends.

The Godfather was nominated for ten Academy Awards, winning "Best Picture of 1972," and garnered 17 an Oscar for Francis Ford 18 Coppola and Mario Puzo for their screenplay.
