Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Makeup Born: August 5, 1941 in New Orleans, LA Death: April 5, 2007 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:"Bob Clark" began making independent low-budget features as a writer/director with the transvestite comedy "The She Man" in 1967, and is fondly remembered for his horror films of the early '70s, made with writer/actor "Alan Ormsby": "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" (signed as Benjamin Clark) and "Deathdream"(aka "Dead Of Night; Night Walk"). Clark also won admiration for his Sherlock Holmes film "Murder By Decree", scripted by "John Hopkins". He scored a hit in the early '80s with his low-brow sex comedy "Porky's" and its first sequel, but his comedy, drawn from "Jean Shepherd"'s writings, "A Christmas Story", was more highly praised. After helming several flop comedies ("Rhinestone", "Turk 182!", "From The Hip", "Loose Cannons"), Clark returned to Shepherd with "It Runs In The Family". ~ All Movie Guide
