"Spielberg, Steven"
Mar-16-00, 10:05 PM (GMT-5)

Steven Spielberg, b. Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 18, 1947, the director of
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (see E.T.)--the most successful box-office
attraction in Hollywood history--has had a streak of movie blockbusters,
establishing him as one of the most popular American film directors. As a
student at Long Beach State College, Spielberg made a 16-mm short, Amblin'
(1969), that won awards at the Venice and Atlanta film festivals. After
working in television for several years, he made his first feature film,
The Sugarland Express (1974). The movie was a limited success, but the
following year Spielberg made Jaws (1975), which set box-office records.
It was followed by Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), a
science-fiction fantasy, Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), an outlandish
adventure tale, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), a sequel
to Raiders of the Lost Ark. In 1985 he directed the film version of Alice
Walker's The Color Purple, and produced (as well as directed) episodes of
the television series "Amazing Stories".
