Helpful and performing artist Richard Gere was conceived on August 31, 1949, in Philadelphia, the second of five offspring of Doris Ann (Tiffany), a homemaker, and Homer George Gere, a protection sales representative, both Mayflower relatives. Richard began right on time as a performer, playing various instruments in secondary school and composing music for secondary school preparations. He moved on from North Syracuse Central High School in 1967, and won an acrobatic grant to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, where he majored in reasoning. He cleared out school following two years to seek after acting, finding a lead part in the London generation of the stone musical "Oil" in 1973.

Offscreen, he burned through 1978 meeting Tibetans when he headed out to Nepal, where he addressed numerous friars and lamas. Coming back to the US, on Broadway he depicted an inhumane imprisonment detainee in "Bowed," for which he got the 1980 Theater World Award. Back in Hollywood, he assumed the title part in American Gigolo (1980), setting up himself as a noteworthy star; this status was reaffirmed by An Officer and a Gentleman (1982).

They got that with Runaway Bride (1999), which was a runaway achievement (Richard got $12 million, Julia made $17 million, the movies was $152 million, which demonstrates what happens when you give the general population what it needs!). Offscreen, Richard and Cindy Crawford got hitched December 12, 1991 (they were separated in 1995). A while later, Richard began dating performing artist Carey Lowell. They had a child, Homer James Jigme Gere, on February 6, 2000.
