Malkovich attended exclusively Illinois schools throughout his childhood and into adulthood, building a community of like-minded performers such as Joan Allen, Gary Sinise and Glenne Headly, all of whom co-founded the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1976. After appearing in numerous stage productions, Malkovich began acting in feature films in the late 1970s, garnering critical acclaim for his numerous dramatic and comedic roles in films such as Dangerous Liasions, Of Mice and Men, Being John Malkovich, and Burn After Reading. In keeping with his renaissance-man image, he created his own fashion company, Mrs. Mudd, in 2002. Malkovich continues to act, direct and produce numerous movies per year, and is considered one of the most influential voices in modern cinema.
