Cinematographer Born: 1906 Death: 1978 in California Biography:American cinematographer Loyal Griggs won an Academy Award for his second director-of-photography effort, "Shane" (1953). Before this triumph, Griggs had worked with Paramount's special effects department, a job he'd started as a teenager. He remained at Paramount even during his post-"Shane" career, photographing such VistaVision treats as "White Christmas" (1954), "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" (1954), and "The Ten Commandments" (1956); he was also up to the challenge of making Jerry Lewis photogenic in films like "The Sad Sack" (1957) and "Visit to a Small Planet" (1960). Free-lancing from 1963 onward, Loyal Griggs kept busy until his retirement in 1971; his last film credit was the Bette Davis/Ernest Borgnine vehicle "Bunny O'Hare" (1971). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
