Alan Alda turns 81 today. The son of Tony-winner Robert Alda, he began his acting career on the stage, making his Broadway debut in 1959. In 1967 he received the first of three Tony nominations of his career for starring in the Jerry Bock-Sheldon Harnick musical The Apple Tree. In the late sixties, he began working regularly in film, and received a Golden Globe nomination for starring in Paper Lion.
However, Alda’s greatest success came on television. In 1972 he was cast as Hawkeye Pierce in the television series M*A*S*H (adapted from the 1970 film), and remained in the role for the show’s entire eleven season run. Over the course of the series, Alda gradually became one of its leading creative influences, especially after the departure of creators Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds, and wrote and/or directed many episodes. Alda received six Golden Globes and five Emmys for his work on M*A*S*H.

Alda maintained his film career during M*A*S*H‘s run, most notably receiving Golden Globe nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Actor for The Four Seasons (which he also directed). In recent years, he received his sixth Emmy Award for playing Senator Arnold Vinick on The West Wing and his first Oscar nomination, Best Supporting Actor, for The Aviator. In March of this year he and his wife, Arlene, will celebrate 60 years of marriage.
