First a screenwriter, then a director, and always an auteur. Though his earlist credit is for direction ("Bellboy and the Playgirls" -1962), Francis Ford Coppola first made a name for himself when he brilliantly wrote the screenplay for "Patton" (1970), which he won an Academy Award for. He had already established himself as a marginally talented filmmaker for "Dementia 13" (1963) and "The Rain People" (1969), and soon after "Patton" co-wrote and directed his masterpiece "The Godfather" (1972). The son of composer Carmine Coppola, Francis was born April 7, 1939, in Detroit, MI. Raised in New York, he began making amateur films while still a child and later enrolled in the famed U.C.L.A. Film School in 1960. Upon entering the film industry by helming a number of softcore porn flicks, Coppola was approached by B-movie mogul Roger Corman to direct his first feature, which turned out to be "Dementia 13" in 1963.
