American film director. Born in Cranston, Rhode Island, into a distinguished family related by marriage to the Rockefeller family. He entered the film industry in 1941 and worked as assistant director under many directors, including Jean Renoir and Charles Chaplin. After writing and directing for television, he made his film directorial debut in 1953 with Big Leaguer. In 1955, he established his own production company, and continued to make films with an independent spirit, such as setting up his own film studio with the profits from the hit of The Dirty Dozen (1967), and was highly acclaimed in Europe. He is known for his masculine works full of violent scenes, such as Vera Cruz (1954), Kill Me With a Kiss (1955), Attack (1956), Emperor of the North Country (1973), and The Longest Yard (1974), but he is also known for his films such as What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, which depicts the feud between elderly sisters. She also broke new ground with women's films such as "What's Wrong with Me?" (1962), "A Bit of a Gap" (1968), which deals with female homosexuality, and "California Dolls" (1981), which is set in the world of women's professional wrestling.
