# Alfred Hitchcock

> He made fear an art form. Hitchcock turned guilt, paranoia, and the dread of what you can't quite see into fifty films that still dictate how suspense works—and became more recognizable than most of his stars by stepping into his own frames.

## Bio

Alfred Joseph Hitchcock started as a title card designer in 1919, worked his way to directing, and by 1927 had shaped the thriller genre with The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog. His British work—The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, the first British talkie Blackmail—earned him international notice, and in 1939 producer David O. Selznick brought him to Hollywood. There he built a run of hits: Rebecca won Best Picture in 1940, followed by Suspicion, Shadow of a Doubt, Notorious, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho, The Birds. He directed over 50 features across six decades, racked up 46 Oscar nominations but never won Best Director despite five tries, hosted his own television series for a decade, and became an American citizen in 1955. In 2012, Vertigo displaced Citizen Kane as the British Film Institute's greatest film ever made. He was knighted in December 1979 and died four months later.
