The world-renowned film director Steven Spielberg needs no special introduction. His passion for making innovative and breakthrough films is well known all over the world.

Steven Spielberg

He went on to become one of the most successful names in the world, making award winning movies like Jurassic Park, Color Purple, E.T.: The extraterrestrial, Schinder’s list and Saving Private Ryan.

Steve was the only son out of four children. His father was an electrical engineer and mother was a pianist. All the family members pampered him. However, things were much different at school. He was an average student at studies.

Due to his father’s frequent transfers, Steven moved from schools in New Jersey, suburban Phoenix and finally to San Jose in California. In the early years, he satiated his hunger for filmmaking by making 8 mm “adventure” films.  A Jewish by religion, he was admitted to a Hebrew school from 1953 to 1957.
