George Roy Hill was a renowned American film director best known for movies such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. Born in a well-to-do family in Minnesota, he was educated first at prestigious The Blake School and then at Yale University. He developed a passion for classical music and flying early in his life. Subsequently, he served as marine pilot in the World War II and thereafter went to Dublin to study music and literature at Trinity College. It was here at Dublin, that he was first introduced to professional theatre and on returning to the U.S. he began working at the Broadway. However, before long, he was recalled to fight in the Korean War. On coming back to civilian life, he continued working at the Broadway and made a few television films. Ultimately, it was at the age of forty that he first started making films and within a short period, he made his place in Hollywood. In the late 1980s, he suddenly left film making and returned to Yale University, this time to teach drama. |
