Blake Edwards is a moviemaker, usually associated with sophisticated, zany comedies, often scored by Henry Mancini. These include the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers, 10 with Bo Derek, Victor/Victoria with James Garner and Robert Preston, and What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? with James Coburn and Dick Shawn.

Born in Tulsa, Okla., on July 26, 1922, Blake Edwards was the grandson of silent-film director J. Gordon Edwards but chose to start out as an actor. He turned his attentions off-camera in the 1950s, penning screenplays and directing a trio of cinematic successes with Operation Petticoat (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and Days of Wine and Roses (1963) before co-writing and directing the first of many Pink Panther comedies.
