Alfred Hitchcock
Died in 1980
Alfred Hitchcock was born in 1899, the son of a greengrocer and poulterer in Leytonstone, in east London, and often told how his father had had him shut for a few minutes in a police station cell to teach him fear. He entered the cinema in 1920 as an intertitle designer, trained in the German studios and made some twenty films in England before leaving for Hollywood in 1939. From 1955 he hosted a television series of crime stories. Nominated five times for the Oscar for directing, he never won it, and died in 1980.
