early life
Bill Murray was born in the town of Wilmette, Illinois, September 21, 1950. He grew up in a large family of Irish Catholics who had emigrated from Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. His father worked in the logging company, and his mother was a housewife.
Bill grew up a rebellious child. In a Jesuit school, where he identified the parents, he was known as a bully and this study was not interested. He fought with classmates, play truant and drew caricatures of teachers. Bill liked only golf and school theater, where he has participated in performances.
