All About this Star
Filmography:
There's not many comedians who transform themselves into film stars, then maintain their position at the top. But Eddie Murphy has somehow managed it, despite slipping for years into relative obscurity. Having broken through on Saturday Night Live, he then stormed the box-office with 48 Hrs and Beverly Hills Cop, lost it all, then charged back again with the barnstorming Nutty Professor. Below we track his path from fame, to failure, to fame once more.
