On This Day : The most successful directors in modern movie history born (December 18,1946)


On this day in 1946, Steven Spielberg, who will become one of the most successful directors in modern movie history with such blockbusters as Jaws, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, is born in Cincinnati, Ohio.
After studying film at California State University, Spielberg directed his first full-length feature, the 1971 thriller Duel, which starred Dennis Weaver and
originally aired on television, to strong reviews. Spielberg’s first directorial effort to be released in theaters was 1974’s The Sugarland Express, starring Goldie Hawn. The young director grabbed Hollywood’s attention with his next film, Jaws (1975), about a killer shark that terrorizes a beach community. Jaws, which co-starred Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider, became the first movie in history to gross over $100 million.

Spielberg’s next film, the UFO-themed Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), also starred Dreyfuss and achieved similar box-office success. It was followed by yet another massive hit, 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, which starred Harrison Ford as the adventurous archeologist Indiana Jones. The movie, co-written by George Lucas (Star Wars), was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It became a successful movie franchise, with Spielberg helming the sequels: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (2008).



Spielberg’s Midas touch continued with the 1982 sci-fi drama E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, about a boy (played by Henry Thomas) who befriends an alien. The movie was an enormous commercial and critical success, earning nine Oscar nominations. Spielberg turned away from action thrillers and special effects with 1985’s The Color Purple, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel of the same name by Alice Walker about a young black woman growing up in the South in the early 20th century. The film, which featured Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey, received 11 Oscar nominations.
