Director
Alfred Hitchcock
English filmmaker born August 13, 1899 in Leytonstone, England, died April 29, 1980. Directed over fifty features across six decades and is widely credited with defining the modern suspense thriller -- Psycho (1960) alone reshaped how mainstream audiences understood a structural twist, and Paramount's own marketing for it (no late seating, spoiler embargoes) became a template the industry still references.
