Samuel Fuller

    Writer, Director, Actor

    Birthdate: Aug 12, 1912

    Birthplace: Worcester, Massachusetts, USA

    Died: Oct 30, 1997

    At age 17, Samuel Fuller was the youngest reporter ever to be in charge of the events section of the New York Journal. After having participated in the European battle theater in World War II, he directed some minor action productions for which he mostly wrote the scripts himself and which he also produced (e.g. The Baron of Arizona (1950)). His masterpiece was Pickup on South Street (1953) for 20th Century Fox, but at the end of the 1950s, he regained his independence from the production company and filmed many other movies of note, including the controversial White Dog (1982).
