Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola ( , ; born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. He is considered one of the leading figures of the New Hollywood film movement and is widely considered one of the greatest directors of all time.}} Coppola is the recipient of five Academy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, two Palmes d'Or, and a BAFTA Award.After directing ''The Rain People'' in 1969, Coppola co-wrote ''Patton'' (1970), which earned him the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North. Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of ''The Godfather'' (1972) which won three Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay and revolutionized the gangster genre of filmmaking, receiving strong commercial and critical reception. He directed ''The Godfather Part II'' (1974) which also won Best Picture with Coppola earning the Best Director.
Also in 1974, Coppola released the thriller ''The Conversation'', which received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. His next film, the war epic ''Apocalypse Now'' (1979), which had a notoriously lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for vividly depicting the Vietnam War. It also won the Palme d'Or, making Coppola one of only ten filmmakers to have won the award twice. Coppola later directed notable films such as ''The Outsiders'' and ''Rumble Fish'' (both 1983), ''The Cotton Club'' (1984), ''Peggy Sue Got Married'' (1986), ''The Godfather Part III'' (1990), ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'' (1992) and ''The Rainmaker'' (1997). Coppola has acted as producer on such diverse films as ''American Graffiti'' (1973), ''The Black Stallion'' (1979), ''The Escape Artist'' (1982), ''Hammett'' (1982), ''Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters'' (1985) and ''The Secret Garden'' (1993).
Many of Coppola's relatives and children have become popular actors and filmmakers: his sister Talia Shire is an actress, his daughter Sofia is a director, his son Roman is a screenwriter, and his nephews Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are actors. Coppola resides in Napa, California, and since the 2010s has been a vintner, owning a family-branded winery of his own. Provided by Wikipedia
