Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Willie Nelson (1933 - ) Singer, songwriter Also: Actor, producer Born: April 30, 1933, Abbott, TX Grizzled American singer/songwriter, a giant in country music of the 1970s and early 80s who also took up acting at the peak of his success. Beginning as a songwriter in the 60s, Nelson began performing his own music around 1970 and won five Grammy awards by 1982. Nelson's first serious acting role, as Robert Redford manager in EL JINETE ELECTRICO (1979), turned out surprisingly well; the following year he landed his first lead role in the frankly autobiographical HONEYSUCKLE ROSE (1980), for which he also contributed one of his best-known songs, On the Road Again, por la que fue nominada al Oscar por Mejor Canción Original. The bewhiskered Nelson has since turned in several fine performances, generally as country-western singers or cowboys, roles which neither tax his range nor require him to disguise his likable Texas twang. His numerous TV outings include a lukewarm rehash of STAGECOACH (1986) which co-starred Johnny Cash and Nelson's frequent collaborators, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson.
