Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Editor Born: July 12, 1932 in New York City, NY Biography:After studying film at UCLA, Hellman became an assistant to producer/director "Roger Corman". He debuted as a director with the 1959 low-budget horror tale "The Beast from the Haunted Cave", produced by Corman's brother Gene. In the early '60s he shot footage for "Roger Corman"'s "Creature from the Haunted Sea" and "The Terror", starring "Jack Nicholson". Hellman and "Nicholson" went on to make "Back Door to Hell", "Flight to Fury", and the memorable westerns "Ride in the Whirlwind" and "The Shooting". In the '70s Hellman directed a trio of offbeat and impressive films starring "Warren Oates": the road tale "Two-Lane Blacktop", the controversial "Cockfighter", and the western "China 9 Liberty 37" (aka "Clayton and Catherine"). His recent work has been more sporadic, but includes the dark swashbuckler "Iguana" and the slasher film "Silent Night Deadly Night III: Better Watch Out". ~ All... Full Biography
