- Steven Spielberg
The most commercially successful filmmaker in Hollywood history, "Steven Spielberg" was born December 18, 1946, in Cincinnati, OH. A lifelong cinema buff, he began directing his first short movies while still a child, later studying film at California State University and winning notice for his 1969 short feature Amblin'. He first made his mark in television, directing "Joan Crawford" in the pilot for "Rod Serling"'s "Night Gallery" and working on episodes of Columbo and "Marcus Welby, M.D." Spielberg's first feature-length effort, 1971's "Duel", a taut thriller starring "Dennis Weaver", was widely acclaimed as one of the best movies ever made for television. The film proved so successful on the small screen, in fact, that it later was the recipient of theatrical distribution throughout Europe, where it proved to be a major box-office hit. - Steven Spielberg -- Director Steven Spielberg
Founded in 1994 by entertainment moguls Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen, DreamWorks SKG is a private entertainment company that produces and distributes popular films, music, and television shows. The acclaimed film director and producer Spielberg mainly oversees the live-action movies for DreamWorks (which has included Saving Private Ryan and Gladiator), while former Disney-executive and animation guru Katzenberg focuses on the company's animated film efforts (which includes The Prince of Egypt and Shrek), and recording industry maven Geffen produces DreamWorks' film soundtracks and albums for popular artists (including Nelly Furtado and Henry Rollins). The prime-time Spin City and The Job are among the many television shows that the company ... produces. The company initially aimed to develop an even broader entertainment offering, with its short-lived DreamWorks Interactive division, to include PC and console-based games (The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Medal of Honor, among others), a chain of cutting-edge video game centers (the now-Sega/Universal-run GameWorks), and an interactive Web site to showcase and exchange new and emerging digital entertainment (the now-less-impressive Pop.com). Since pulling out of those ventures, DreamWorks SKG has focused on its core strengths and has proven to be a major player in the entertainment business, especially amid the 2001 success of the computer-animated feature film, Shrek, which is arguably on a par with similar efforts by archrival The Walt Disney Company. - Steven Spielberg -- Family
