based on Richard Matheson's story about a travelling salesman who is mysteriously harassed by an anonymous truck driver whose face is never seen and motives are never revealed.

With the success of Duel, Spielberg debuted as a feature film Director with The Sugarland Express (1973) starring Goldie Hawn, William Atherton, Ben Johnson and Michael Sacks. He was then assigned to direct the film adaptation of Peter Benchley's novel, Jaws (1975). This thriller about a shark who terrorizes a New England beach community marked the beginning of the blockbuster, making $130 million and costing only $8.5 million. After Jaws, Spielberg had much more freedom in Hollywood. Therefore, he chose to direct a science-fiction drama of his own writing, Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). The film earned Spielberg his first Academy Award nomination as Best Director. Another blockbuster under his belt, Spielberg felt that it was time to do a different kind of story. Hence, the little known screwball farce about a Japanese attack on the coast of California just days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941 (1979). The film was a critical and box office bomb, but Spielberg didn't let that bring him down.

The new decade marked new blockbusters from Steven Spielberg. Teaming up with his friend, George Lucas (Star Wars), the two created a fast-paced adventure thriller about archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), inspired by childhood memories of old cliffhanger serials, pitted Indiana Jones against the Nazis in a race to find the Ark of the Covenant. The film was a box office smash, earning Spielberg his second Best Director nomination. Since its release, millions have seen Raiders of the Lost Ark Corporate and has become a classic of modern moviemaking, for its technical and storytelling aspects. How was Spielberg going to top Raiders of the Lost Ark? The answer was simple. A film about a boy and his alien friend. A film about childhood and growing up, and, easily one of Spielberg's best films. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), an imaginative, enchanting, wondrous science-fiction tale quickly became the most successful film of all time. With this great opus, Spielberg earned his third Best Director nomination, although the award still alluded the young Director. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is one of the films Spielberg is most proud of, "the closest film to my own sensibilities, my own fantasies, my own heart." A week prior to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial's opening, another Steven Spielberg film had been released. Poltergeist (1982) was not directed by Spielberg (who was the writer-producer) but instead by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre). During production and afterwards there were stories of problems between the producer and Director, centering on the question of who the Director actually was. (The Directors Guild even launched an investigation.) Poltergeist was Spielberg's fourth film he produced but did not direct, the other three being I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978), Used Cars (1980), and Continental Divide (1981).

With all the money he accrued from E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Poltergeist, and past blockbusters, Spielberg formed Amblin Entertainment in 1984. Housed in a luxurious building on

the lot of Universal Studios, Amblin quickly became one of Hollywood's largest and most successful production companies. Out of Amblin, Spielberg produced such hits as

Corporate Bio (Continued) Gremlins (1984), Back to the Future (1985), An American Tail (1986), and collaborated with Disney in producing the live-action/animated movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), a film that helped revive Disney's animation department. Even though he was a successful producer, Spielberg continued to direct. First, there was the sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), another runaway success. The following year brought the film adaptation of The Color Purple (1985). Based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning novel about the life of an African American girl in the traditional South, it was considered Spielberg's first "adult film." Even though critics attacked the Director for sweetening up the storyline, audiences felt that the film was touching and magnificently crafted. Nominated for nine Academy Awards including Best Picture (but not Best Director) the film did not receive a single statue. Later, in 1987, Spielberg was honored with the Academy's Irving G. Thalberg Award for his body of work. Less successful, both from critics and audiences, was Spielberg's second effort at a historical drama. Empire of the Sun (1987) follows the story of a young British boy who is separated from his parents during the evacuation of colonial China during WWII. Spielberg returned to his old roots two years later when he again teamed up with Lucas to create the

third Indy film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), which introduced such characters as Indy's dad (Sean Connery) and Young Indy (played by River Phoenix and later spun off into a television show produced by Lucas and starring Sean Patrick Flannery). That same year

marked the release of Always (1989), Spielberg's remake of Victor Fleming's A Guy Named Joe (1943). Spielberg returned in 1991, directing such talent as Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman in the Peter Pan update Hook (1991). Although it seemed to be a hit with audiences

(the highest grossing film of the year) critics and Hollywood considered it a disappointment.

1993 marked two big milestones in Steven Spielberg's career and filmmaking. First did Michael Crichton base the summer blockbuster Jurassic Park (1993), on the novel. The film, a thriller about a theme park where genetically engineered dinosaurs run amok, provided the classic Spielberg blend of terror, special effects, and storytelling. The movie set new speed records and became the most successful film in the world. The film is also notable because of it's convincing use of computer generated dinosaurs created by Lucas's special effects

company, Industrial Light and Magic. Just months after the release of Jurassic Park, Spielberg released a film that was completely different. Schindler's List (1993) was a holocaust drama about Oskar Schindler, a man who saved over 1,000 Jews from death in concentration camps.

Spielberg had been wanting to make this film for many years, but had never been emotionally ready to attack it. Shot and directed beautifully, mostly in black and white, the film garnered critical praise and box office success. This was the film that finally gave Spielberg his only Academy Award for Best Director.

In 1995, Steven Spielberg, former Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenburg, and Record/Film Producer David Geffen announced the creation of a new studio which would churn Steven out motion pictures (both live-action and animated), movies, television shows, and multi-media. The three men named the new studio, DreamWorks SKG and it is still in its infancy. Its first production will be The Peacemaker, starring George Clooney (ER). Already the studio has produced a sitcom, Champs, which has since been canceled, but it may have found a hit with the ABC series High Incident, an ER-style cop show which is in its second season. The partners have also purchased a Playa Vista site, which was once owned by Howard Hughes to serve as their studio. Even though Spielberg has DreamWorks SKG, his production company has still been producing films under Universal and Warner but will presumably be moving to DreamWorks. As for directing, Spielberg is busy in post-production of The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park. In February 1997, he will begin shooting Amistad, and when that is finished he will tackle Saving Private Ryan.

Born: 1950, New York, NY

Industry boy wonder who became chair of Walt Disney Studios at age 34. Prior to that appointment, Katzenberg was Barry Diller's assistant at Paramount, and later rose through the corporate ranks in marketing and programming. Eventually he became president of production in 1982 and oversaw such Paramount releases as 48HRS. (1982), FLASHDANCE (1983), TERMS OF ENDEARMENT (1983) and BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984). In 1984, though, soon after Barry Diller moved to Fox and Michael Eisner relocated to Disney, Katzenberg followed suit and also departed. Katzenberg, Eisner and Disney president and CEO Frank Wells subsequently saw Disney through a notably successful period, broadening Disney's product into more adult fare (THE COLOR OF MONEY, 1986, DEAD POETS SOCIETY, 1989, WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, 1993) through the company's Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures divisions. Katzenberg also had a hand in greenlighting a popular series of farces and other light entertainments with established if tepid marquee names stars (RUTHLESS PEOPLE, 1986, GREEN CARD, 1990, COOL RUNNINGS, 1993). Disney revenues and overall value increased markedly during the 1980s and 90s, and such hugely popular animated features as THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989), BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991) and ALADDIN (1992). This not only kept up the company's trademark genre but helped increase the appeal of its theme parks, resort and commercial tie-in products. After a notable run at Disney (and an infamous 28-page cost-cutting memo critical of Disney operations, which embarrassed many when it received unintentionally wide distribution in early 1991) Katzenberg announced his resignation from the company during the summer of 1994. He cited new career opportunities as his reason for leaving; many press accounts, however, reported that the real reason for his departure was his not receiving the COO position that was formerly held by the late Frank G. Wells. The news surprised most of Hollywood, with Katzenberg's resignation occurring a couple of months after the release of his most successful film at Disney, THE LION KING (1994). In the fall of 1994 Katzenberg, along with Steven Spielberg and music mogul David Geffen, announced the formation of DreamWorks SKG, a new studio that would produce features, TV and multimedia projects at a lower cost than the major studios.

Born: February 21, 1943, Brooklyn, NY

High-powered multimedia mogul, a creative, playful yet hardworking enfant terrible who has been dubbed "Hollywood's first crossover business star," in part because he "knows better than anyone…who a star is, and who isn't." A native of Brooklyn, Geffen, whose mother ran a corset shop, began his involvement with the world of entertainment as so many seem to have done: in gift for scouting talent into several companies, which made him rich and boosted the careers of, among others, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, the Association, Jesse Colin Young, Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. The late 1970s and early 80s saw Geffen encountering several career and personal setbacks: an unhappy stint as vice chairman at Warner Brothers ("Companies are too inefficient, in the most honest sense of the word…I don't have the personality to be a corporate Executive") and a false-alarm bout with a supposedly malignant tumor. Rebounding with characteristic gusto, Geffen pulled off what one Executive called "the hat trick of all time" by getting Warners to finance his new record company almost interest- free. After a slow start, Geffen Records achieved both popularity and controversy with such acts as Cher, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Andrew Dice Clay and Nelson. The record label's companion firm, Geffen Film Company, has generally enjoyed a high level of success with a similarly quirky line of comedies, including RISKY BUSINESS (1983), AFTER HOURS and LOST IN AMERICA (both in 1985), LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986), based on the off-Broadway play Geffen produced), BEETLEJUICE (1988) and QUICK CHANGE (1990). Also notable were his ventures into theater, which encompass such Broadway hits as the musicals Dreamgirls and Cats, and the dramas Master Harold…and the Boys and M. Butterfly. Geffen later formed another record company, DGC, which became a powerhouse in the "alternative music" business by signing such popular and influential acts as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Hole, Beck, Counting Crows, Teenage Fanclub and Weezer. A fickle, self-admitted obsessive, Geffen considers himself to be merely a "fixer" who professes great admiration for but not affinity with Hollywood powers from the past. A classic example is Jack Warner, whose estate Geffen purchased in total for $47.5 million and plans to sell without having lived in it; "The worst thing that can happen," he notes, "is that I'll make money." An instance of just such a profitable fate is Geffen's 1990 sale of Geffen Records to MCA for 10 million shares of stock (at the time worth $540 million). Eight months later, when MCA was sold to Matsushita for $6.1 billion, his shares were worth $710 million. It is precisely this financial prowess, combined with his lack of reticence in public, his much-publicized personal life (he has been romantically linked to stars such as Cher, but came out publicly as a gay man in the early '90s), and his omnipresence among the stars who value his support that may yet make Geffen "the man whose phone call has the effect of a corporation." In the fall of 1994 Geffen, along with former Disney Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, announced the founding of DreamWorks SKG, a new cost-efficient studio that would compete with the majors.
