Biography:After wartime service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, Edmontonian "Arthur Hiller" began his show business career in Canadian radio and television. In the mid-1950s, Hiller left the CBC for American television, directing such live anthologies as "Playhouse 90" and such filmed weeklies as "Alcoa/Goodyear Theatre", Alfred Hitchcock Presents and "The Naked City". He directed his first theatrical film in 1957, moving on to such 1960s big-budgeters as "The Americanization of Emily" (1964), where he proved himself a superb technician with only a trace of personal style. In 1970, Hiller was fortunate enough to be in the director's chair for that year's biggest hit, "Love Story", which earned him an Oscar nomination. Extremely successful for the past four decades, "Arthur Hiller" has continued to turn out such slick, efficient products as "Silver Streak" (1974), "The In-Laws" (1976), "The Lonely Guy" (1984)...
