Name: Alice Cooper

Date of Birth: February 4, 1948, Detroit, Michigan

Famous For:  Rock Star

Info:  More frightening than Marilyn Manson, kookier than Kiss and funnier than Freddy Krueger, Alice Cooper inspired all three and a host of other rock bands.

Alice Cooper was born Vincent Damon Furnier, in Detroit and was the son of a minister. He moved to Phoenix, AZ at a young age and still lives in that city today.

A little side trivia... he went to school at Cortez High School, which was just down the street from where I used to own a video store called Video Extra.

At 17, he formed a rock band called Alice Cooper, named after a woman who was persecuted for being a witch in Miedeval Europe.
They got their first big break playing at the Wiskey - a - GoGo in L.A. one night when Frank Zappa discovered them and signed them to an album deal in 1969.

After their first album the band broke up (1975) and there was a dispute over who would be able to coninue using the Alice Cooper
name, the band or the man who played Alice. Vincent ended the dispute by having his name legally changed to Alice Cooper, so the band played on as the Billion Dollar Babies. That same year, Alice met his would-be wife, Sheryl, who was a dancer on the "Welcome to My Nightmare" tour.

In 1977 Cooper was hospitalized in the New York sanitarium for alcoholism. Ironically this proved fruitful for a surprise return to form on the hard-rocking, semi-autobiographical album "From The Inside."

Family Life:  Sheryl Cooper, since 1976. They have three children.

He still looks pretty much the same!
