Jack Clayton

Died in 1995

Jack Clayton was born in 1921 and joined Denham Studios at the age of fourteen, where he served tea, then rose through every rank. He made only seven feature films in almost thirty years, turning down projects that did not interest him, and separated them with long silences, one of nine years marked by abandoned projects and a stroke. He married three times, the last time to an actress who collaborated on the screenplay of one of his films. He died in 1995, after a last film for television.
