This ‘whizkid’ of special effects films is from the Spielberg school of filmmaking and Steven Spielberg produced many of his films. He and his writing partner Bob Gale have a talent for zany comedy Used Cars (1980), Romancing the Stone (1984), 1941 (1979) Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and the Back to the Future (1985 – 1989) trilogy. Although these films are very entertaining most have well-developed characters, who have something to say. Zemeckis’ more recent films Forrest Gump (1994) and Contact (1997) were critical as well as box office successes. His television work includes producing the off beat Tales from the Crypt series. He won the 1995 best director Oscar for Forrest Gump, which had been developed in part by Spielberg. Then in 1996, he got to present the Oscar to his mentor for directing Schindler’s List.

Barry Levinson graduated from high school in 1960, attended college in Baltimore while working in television. He did well, but decided he wanted to go to Los Angeles. In LA, Levinson worked for the Oxford Company, while studying acting, improvisation, and production. He worked in comedy clubs, where he learned how to write; and began dating Valerie Curtin. In 1967 Curtin and Levinson were married in 1975, but divorced in 1982. He won a job writing for a local TV comedy show and he eventually performed his material on the show, winning a local Emmy. In the 1970s, Barry Levinson wrote for The Carol Burnett Show (1967) winning two Emmys in three years. Mel Brooks hired him to write Silent Movie (1976) and High Anxiety (1977). He and Curtin co-wrote ...And Justice for All (1979). He wrote Diner (1982), which MGM bought and Levinson was allowed to direct. He a budget $5 million budget. Levinson met Dianna Rhodes, while he was filming Diner. Levinson and Rhodes later married and had two children, Sam and Jack. With The Natural, Levinson moved to the A-List and picked up a project that Spielberg had been working on called Rain Man (1988). Levinson went on to make Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), and Bugsy (1991). In 1994, Levinson had another hit with Disclosure. The Levinsons moved to Marin County in Northern California in the mid-1990’s.
