Paul Thomas Anderson

Paul Thomas Anderson was born in 1970 in Studio City, a Los Angeles neighbourhood located in the valley that serves as the setting for four of his films. His father, the voice of a major television network, had played from 1963 to 1966, on a Cleveland channel, a very popular horror film host; he gave him a camera at the age of twelve. He left a private school after fights and poor grades, took two semesters of English at Emerson College, then entered the film school of New York University, which he left after two days, recovering his tuition fees.
