John Schlesinger
John Richard Schlesinger ( ; 16 February 1926 – 25 July 2003) was an English film and stage director, and actor. He emerged in the early 1960s as a leading light of the British New Wave, before embarking on a successful career in Hollywood, often directing films dealing frankly in provocative subject matter, combined with his status as one of the rare openly gay directors working in mainstream films.Schlesinger started his career making British dramas ''A Kind of Loving'' (1962), ''Billy Liar'' (1963), and ''Far from the Madding Crowd'' (1967). He won the Academy Award for Best Director for ''Midnight Cowboy'' (1969) and was Oscar-nominated for ''Darling'' (1965) and ''Sunday Bloody Sunday'' (1971). He gained acclaim for his Hollywood films ''The Day of the Locust'' (1975), and ''Marathon Man'' (1976). His later films include ''Madame Sousatzka'' (1988) and ''Cold Comfort Farm'' (1995). He also served as an associate director of the Royal National Theatre.
Over his career he received numerous accolades including an Academy Award, and four BAFTA Awards as well as nominations for three Golden Globe Awards. In 1970, he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1970 Birthday Honours for services to film, and in 2002, he was made a BAFTA Fellow. Four of Schlesinger's films are on the British Film Institute's Top 100 British films. Provided by Wikipedia
