A major figure of theΒ New Hollywood era and pioneer of the modernΒ blockbuster, Spielberg is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in theΒ history of cinemaΒ and is theΒ highest-grossing film director of all time.Β Among otherΒ accolades, he has received threeΒ Academy Awards, fourΒ Golden Globe AwardsΒ and threeΒ BAFTA Awards, as well as theΒ AFI Life Achievement AwardΒ in 1995, anΒ honorary knighthoodΒ in 2001, theΒ Kennedy Center HonorsΒ in 2006, theΒ Cecil B.

Spielberg was born inΒ Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up inΒ Phoenix, Arizona.Β He moved toΒ California and studied film in college. After directing several episodes for television, includingΒ Night GalleryΒ andΒ Columbo, he directed the television filmΒ Duel (1971), which Barry Diller approved. He made his theatrical debut withΒ The Sugarland ExpressΒ (1974), also beginning his decades-long collaboration with composerΒ John Williams, with whom he has worked for all but five of his theatrical releases. He became a household name with the summer blockbusterΒ JawsΒ (1975). He continued directing acclaimedΒ escapist box-office hits withΒ Close Encounters of the Third KindΒ (1977),Β E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), and the originalΒ Indiana JonesΒ trilogy (1981–1989).
