How Bill Murray Went From 'Scrooged' To Santa
Murray was genius, to begin with - there's no doubt about that. Once upon a time, Charles Dickens wrote the story of Scrooge, a man who, on Christmas Eve, sat busy in his office. Till now, that Scrooge was Bill Murray. How, then, did the humbuggiest of characters become a contemporary Father Christmas with his own Netflix seasonal special, "A Very Murray Christmas"? Read on, and know him better, man.
Murray's characters, though often lovable...
...are mostly Scrooges.
Especially that one time when...
...you know, he actually was Scrooge.
And he ruined Christmas for all.
And yet, like old Ebenezer...
...there was goodness in him all along.
