Information about directorJohn Cassavetes John Cassavetes (b. 1929, New York) began his film career as a Hollywood actor in the 1950s. He made his first film, Shadows, near the end of that decade with the help of friends. After struggles with Tinsel Town, he returned there unwillingly and only to earn money for his films by acting (Rosemary’s Baby, Dirty Dozen). He directed nine films, most starring his life partner and actress Gena Rowlands. Cassavetes was, for a long time, a lonely figure in American cinema. He personally controlled most stages of his productions, from the writing, to acting, directing as well as editing. He is often considered the father of independent American cinema.
