Steven Spielberg
(born 1946) The most financially successful Hollywood director/producer, with blockbusters E.T. the ExtraTerrestnal (1982), Jurassic Park (1993; 1997) and Indiana Jones (1981; 1984; 1989). Spielberg has also achieved critical success by attacking such subjects as slavery the Holocaust and the Second World War. His visually striking films, Schindler’s List (1993) and Saving Private Ryan (1998), will likely represent the Second World War era for future audiences, a fact which troubles some documentary filmmakers and historians. Spielberg’s film Jaws (1975) is also credited with being the first “Summer Event” movie. In 1997, with David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, Spielberg created the film studio Dreamworks, SKG.
