Director, Actor Born: December 13, 1920 in Freeport, PA Biography:A Pennsylvania-born actor/director, "Don Taylor" appeared in such movies as Father of the Bride and Stalag 17 before switching to directing in 1961 with the juvenile comedy "Everything's Ducky". His second film, "Ride the Wild Surf" (1964), was an above average teen exploitation movie that was very successful. But Taylor hit his stride as a serious filmmaker in 1968 with a jewel of a television feature called "Something for a Lonely Man", a drama starring "Dan Blocker" and "Susan Clark" that became a favorite among critics. His next movie, "Five Man Army" (1970), was a popular spaghetti western, and his "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" (1971) secured good reviews and assured the series' survival beyond its third installment. "Island of Dr. Moreau" (1977) was a solid, handsomely produced version of the "H.G. Wells" story, and a hit, as was "Taylor"'s Damien: Omen II (1979). "Final Countdown"... Full Biography
