Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger ( /ˈʃwɔrtsənɛɡər/; German: [ˈaɐnɔlt ˈalɔʏs ˈʃvaɐtsənˌʔɛɡɐ]; born July 30, 1947) is an Austrian and American former professional bodybuilder, actor, businessman, investor, and politician. Schwarzenegger served as the 38th Governor of California from 2003 until 2011.
Schwarzenegger began to weight train at the age of 15 years old. He was awarded the title of Mr. Universe at age 20 and went on to win the Mr. Olympia contest seven times. Schwarzenegger has remained a prominent presence in the sport of bodybuilding and he has written several books and numerous articles on the sport. Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as a Hollywood action film icon. He was nicknamed the "Austrian Oak" and the "Styrian Oak" in his bodybuilding days, "Arnie" during his acting career and more recently the "Governator" (from "Governor" and "Terminator").
As a Republican, he was first elected on October 7, 2003, in a special recall election to replace then-Governor Gray Davis. Schwarzenegger was sworn in on November 17, 2003, to serve the remainder of Davis's term. Schwarzenegger was then re-elected on November 7, 2006, in California's 2006 gubernatorial election, to serve a full term as governor, defeating Democrat Phil Angelides, who was California State Treasurer at the time. Schwarzenegger was sworn in for his second term on January 5, 2007.
Acclaimed cinematographer Jenna Rosher makes her directorial debut by capturing the bond between 75-year-old Eddie Belasco and his 98-year-old "Ma," Josephine, by crafting a hilarious and touching portrait of growing old while staying young.

adjusted and quiet
He's truly such a lonely boy,
His brain gets in the way most of time
And lately, all Junior wants is to go to sleep
And lately, he says the strangest things
...and lately
Junior likes to sleep
He sleeps all time
But it's not because he's lazy, just preoccupied
And A.M. Saturday
Never comes soon enough
He sits and watched two inches from the T.V.
Just like he was in love
He's got the scars suburbans do
The calloused thumb of ninendo youth, but now
There's something growing in his mind,
The power cosmic, fighting time at last
And lately, all Junior wants is to go to sleep
And lately, he says the strangest things
...and lately
Junior likes to sleep
He sleeps all time
But it's not because he's lazy, just preoccupied
And A.M. Saturday
Never comes soon enough
He sits and watched two inches from the T.V.
Just like he was in love
Just like he was in love
Just like he was in love
