At age 12, George Chakiris began his foray into the silver screen showing off his singing as well as acting talents in the 1947 musical film, Song Of Love. Fourteen years later, he won his first - and only - Academy Award as well as Golden Globe for his supporting role in the now-classic flick West Side Story.Â
Lending his acting skillsets to the TV audience, between the late '60s to late '70s, the Norwood Ohio-native starred in numerous series such as Hawaii Five-0, Murder She Wrote, and Dallas.
As illustrious as his career is, it gets overshadowed by his sexuality. A gentler dive into his personal life shall reveal more!

The veteran actor, for his part, never deemed it fit to discuss his sexuality with the world at large. And as a result, his married life with life partner - assuming he has one - garnered a mythic status.

Dating Status Now
Similar to his married status, the White Christmas star's dating life is yet to catch headlines.
Given his longevity in the show-biz, it's understandable that the public would expect George to run a high risk of getting linked with fellow industry heavyweights. To his credit, the veteran actor defied all the odds as the rumors surrounding his alleged romance with co-stars never became a thing.
At age 84, the West Side Story actor's is as reclusive about his dating status now as he was in his heyday - if not, even more.Â
What Is He Doing Today?
Way past his prime today, George has altogether stopped applying for movie roles and shifted his focus on jewelry designing. What started as a mere hobby is now a thriving business for the 84-year-old actor-turned-jewelry maker.
