Biography: The most commercially successful filmmaker in Hollywood history, Steven Spielberg was born December 18, 1946, in Cincinnati. In a career of more than four decades, Spielberg's films have covered many themes and genres. Spielberg's early science-fiction and adventure films were seen as archetypes of modern Hollywood blockbuster filmmaking. In later years, his films began addressing such issues as the Holocaust, slavery, war and terrorism. He is considered one of the most popular and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. He is also one of the co-founders of DreamWorks movie studio. Marriages and children From 1985 to 1989 Spielberg was married to actress Amy Irving. In their 1989 divorce settlement, she received $100 million from Spielberg after a judge controversially vacated a prenuptial agreement written on a napkin. Spielberg subsequently developed a relationship with actress Kate Capshaw, whom he met when he cast her in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. They married on October 12, 1991. Capshaw is a convert to Judaism. There are seven children in the Spielberg-Capshaw family: Jessica Capshaw (born August 9, 1976) – daughter from Kate Capshaw's previous marriage to Robert Capshaw; Max Samuel Spielberg (born June 13, 1985) – son from Spielberg's previous marriage to actress Amy Irving; Theo Spielberg (born 1988) – son adopted by Capshaw before her marriage to Spielberg, who later also adopted him; Sasha Rebecca Spielberg (born May 14, 1990, Los Angeles); Sawyer Avery Spielberg (born March 10, 1992, Los Angeles) ; Mikaela George (born February 28, 1996) – adopted with Kate Capshaw; Destry Allyn Spielberg (born December 1, 1996). Spielberg's most important contribution to modern movies: There was an enormous audience to be created if old-style B-movie stories were made with A-level craftsmanship and enhanced with the latest developments in special effects. In Spielberg, the light source conceals mystery, where for many other directors it is darkness that conceals mystery. The difference is that for Spielberg, mystery offers promise instead of threat.
