Chris Farley reached the dizzying heights of fame, but his fall from the top of the mountain was just as drastic. Before delving into all that, however, we have to rewind back to the start of his story.

Early life

He was born on February 15, 1964, in the tiny village of Maple Bluff, Wisconsin – as far away from Hollywood as can be. His dad, Thomas, was the owner of the Scotch Oil Company in Madison, so Chris’ life was comfortable growing up. He had four siblings, but it was clear from the outset who’d be the star.
