Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980)
Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker widely regarded as one
of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of
which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the
"Master of Suspense", he became as well known as any of his
actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most
of his films, and his hosting and producing the television
anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955–65).
His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six
wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite
five nominations.
