Francois Truffaut is considered by some to be the greatest film director to come from France. Born in Paris in 1932, Truffaut found a fondness for film at an early age. Leading the "New Wave" of cinema in the late 1950's/early 1960's, he came to prominence with the film "The 400 Blows," starring his actor of choice, Jean-Pierre Leaud. Amongst the other great films he directed were "Fahrenheit 451" (1966), "The Wild Child" (1969), "Two English Girls" (1971), "Bed and Board" (1972), "Day for Night" (1973), "The Man Who Loved Women" (1977), and "Love on the Run" (1979). Outside of memorable
… More roles in "The Wild Child" and Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977), he seldom appeared on screen. He died of a brain tumor in L'Hôpital Américain de Neuilly, Paris in 1984.
