STEVEN SPIELBERG

Born December 18, 1946 in Cincinnati, OH

Academy Award-winning director, screenwriter and producer of blockbuster works including E.T., Jaws, The Color Purple, Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List.

Bullied as a child because he was Jewish and rejected from the USC Film School 3 times, he nonetheless became the most commercially successful film director in history.

Terrified of making Schindler’s List but was overcome with a sense of duty to educate people about the Holocaust.

“I don’t dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I’m dreaming for a living.
