Director, Producer Born: August 23, 1925 in Bronx, New York City, NY Death: December 20, 2008 Biography:After a stab at studying for the priesthood, Bronx-born "Robert Mulligan" majored in radio communications at Fordham University. He carried over his radio skills into his WWII service with the Marines, then landed a postwar job in the editorial department of the New York Times. He joined the CBS television network as a messenger boy, graduating to director of such live series as "Suspense" and "Playhouse 90". In 1957, "Mulligan" collaborated for the first time with his future partner, producer/writer/director "Alan J. Pakula"; the team's initial film effort was "Fear Strikes Out" (1957), a biography of mercurial baseball player Jimmy Piersall. Forming Pakula-Mulligan Productions in 1962, "Mulligan" went on to be nominated for a Best Director Academy Award for "To Kill a Mockingbird". "Mulligan"'s 1960s films seem to be far more heartfelt and personal than one expects from Hollywood products of that... Full Biography
