Born: September 6th, 1909 (Baltimore)
Died: April 29th, 1993 (natural causes)
Marriage: Mrs. Cohn
Children: Jane Gordon
Interesting Fact: He is the Maternal Grandfather of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Success: In the forties he made mainly B-Movies. In the mid-fifties he was blacklisted by Senator McCarthy and did not come back until the late fifties to direct his most popular film "Pillow Talk" (1959).
Awards: He has been nominated for the DGA award for his film Crano De Bergerac (1950). He has also been nominated for the Golden Laurel achievement.
My Favorite Film: My two favorite films are "Pillow Talk" (1959) and "Move Over Darling" (1963).
His years at Hollywood were very rough and disappointing. Starting out with only smaller films and then being Blacklisted I'm sure was tough to take. It wasn't until he was asked to direct "Pillow Talk" (1959) that he began to be recognized for his skills as a director.
