Alfred Hitchcock
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980) was an English film director. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, According to Roger Ebert in 1980, it was 54.}} many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense", Hitchcock became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo appearances in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents'' (1955–65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director, despite five nominations.Hitchcock initially trained as a technical clerk and copywriter before entering the film industry in 1919 as a title card designer. His directorial debut was the British–German silent film ''The Pleasure Garden'' (1925). His first successful film, ''The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog'' (1927), helped to shape the thriller genre, and ''Blackmail'' (1929) was the first British "talkie". His thrillers ''The 39 Steps'' (1935) and ''The Lady Vanishes'' (1938) are ranked among the greatest British films of the 20th century. By 1939, he had international recognition and producer David O. Selznick persuaded him to move to Hollywood. A string of successful films followed, including ''Rebecca'' (1940), ''Foreign Correspondent'' (1940), ''Suspicion'' (1941), ''Shadow of a Doubt'' (1943) and ''Notorious'' (1946). ''Rebecca'' won the Academy Award for Best Picture, with Hitchcock nominated as Best Director. He also received Oscar nominations for ''Lifeboat'' (1944), ''Spellbound'' (1945), ''Rear Window'' (1954) and ''Psycho'' (1960).
Hitchcock's other notable films include ''Rope'' (1948), ''Strangers on a Train'' (1951), ''Dial M for Murder'' (1954), ''To Catch a Thief'' (1955), ''The Trouble with Harry'' (1955), ''Vertigo'' (1958), ''North by Northwest'' (1959), ''The Birds'' (1963) and ''Marnie'' (1964), all of which were also financially successful and are highly regarded by film historians. Hitchcock made a number of films with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including four with Cary Grant, four with James Stewart, three with Ingrid Bergman and three consecutively with Grace Kelly. Hitchcock became an American citizen in 1955.
