Ridley Scott

Ridley Scott was born in 1937 in South Shields, in the north-east of England, the second of the three sons of an engineer officer who was often away and whose postings moved the family around. He studied graphic design at the West Hartlepool College of Art, then at the Royal College of Art in London, where he made a first short film with his younger brother, Tony. A scholarship sent him to New York in 1961, to work with documentary makers. Back in Britain, he was a designer and then a director of series for British public television, founded an advertising film company in 1968 and moved on to feature films in 1977.
