On July 6, 1994, the movie Forrest Gump opened in theaters. A
huge box-office success, the film starred Tom Hanks in the title
role of Forrest, a good-hearted man with a low I.Q. who winds
up at the center of key cultural and historical events of the
second half of the 20th century.

The film also won an Oscar for its then-cutting-edge computer-
generated imagery (CGI) special effects, which incorporated
Forrest Gump into existing news footage with famous world
figures including John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and Richard
Nixon.

Tom Hanks will be 69 years old on July 9th.
