Cecil B. DeMille
Cecil Blount DeMille (12 de agosto de 1881 – 21 de enero de 1959) fue uno de los directores de cine de más éxito durante la primera mitad del siglo XX.

Nació en Ashfield, Massachusetts. Sus padres, Henry Churchill DeMille (1853–1893) y Matilda Beatrice Samuel (1853–1923), se dedicaban a escribir obras de teatro. Henry murió cuando Cecil tenía 12 años y su madre comenzó a mantener el hogar, tras abrir un colegio para señoritas y una compañía de teatro.

Demasiado joven para enrolarse en el ejército y participar en la guerra de Estados Unidos contra España, siguió a su hermano William a Nueva York, para estudiar en la Academia de Artes Dramáticas, e hizo su debut teatral en 1900.

Fue durante 20 años actor y manager de la compañía de su madre. En 1913 junto a Jesse L. Lasky y Samuel Goldwyn, fundaron la Lasky (Paramount), y al año siguiente, produjeron The Squaw Man, su primera película de Hollywood. Produjo y dirigió 70 películas y estuvo muy ligado a muchas más. La mayoría de sus películas son comedias con dejes sexuales, ya que siempre sostuvo que los norteamericanos eran curiosos sólo con el sexo y el dinero.

Su hija Katherine DeMille se casó con el talentoso actor Anthony Quinn en contra de sus deseos y nunca le prestó ningún apoyo.

También es muy conocido por sus producciones de filmes épicos y bíblicos, como Rey de reyes (King of Kings), Los diez mandamientos (The Ten Commandments) (1923).

Biography by All Movie Guide
An actor and general manager with his mother's theatrical troupe since the mid-1900s, Cecil B. DeMille formed a filmmaking partnership in 1913 with vaudeville artist Jesse L. Lasky and businessman Samuel Goldfish (soon to be known as Samuel Goldwyn). Their first venture was The Squaw Man (1914), which DeMille co-directed, co-wrote and co-produced with Oscar Apfel. This successful and elaborate six-reeler launched DeMille on a lifelong career in films. His first solo effort was the Western The Virginian (1914), which he also co-scripted. He edited and wrote (or co-wrote) almost all his successful films, with the notable exception of the popular melodrama The Cheat (1915). Writer Jeanie Macpherson began working for DeMille in 1914 with The Captive (1915), and wrote most of his later silent films: hits that included witty romantic farces (Don't Change Your Husband); epic morality tales that combined modern dramas with visions of history (Joan the Woman [1916]) or the Bible (The Ten Commandments [1923]); and perhaps DeMille's greatest artistic success, the handsome and moving life of Christ, The King of Kings (1927). Macpherson also wrote the director's first three talkies, ending their collaboration in 1930 with the bizarre comedy Madam Satan (1930). DeMille continued to score hits in the '30s with epics (Sign of the Cross [1932], Cleopatra [1934]) and Westerns (The Plainsman [1937], Union Pacific [1939]). His output became more sporadic during the '40s, but he still pleased the public with his rugged action films Northwest Mounted Police (1940) and Reap the Wild Wind (1942). DeMille's last three films — Samson and Delilah (1950), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), and The Ten Commandments (1956), a remake of his 1923 movie of the same name — were the most successful releases of their respective years. DeMille's final directorial effort, The Ten Commandments was also the decade's box-office champ. He died in 1959 at the age of 77; his memoir, The Autobiography of Cecil B. DeMille, was published posthumously later that year
