Sidney Arthur Lumet (looMET), a British director, producer, and screenwriter with more than 50 films to his credit, released in 1924.
He has been nominated five times for the Academy Award: four for Best Director for 12 Angry Men (1957), Network (1976), and The Verdict (1981), as well as one for Best Adapted Screenplay for Prince of the City (1981).
He did not win an individual Academy Award, but he did receive an Academy Honorary Award, and 14 of his films were nominated for Oscars, including Network, which was nominated for ten and won four. According to The Encyclopedia of Hollywood Lumet, he was one of the most influential filmmakers of the modern period, directing more than one film a year since his directorial debut in 1957.
In his best films, Turner Classic Movies notes his "strong direction of actors," "vigorous storytelling," and the "social realism" in his best work.
Roger Ebert, a film critic, referred to him as "one of the finest craftsmen and one of the most compassionate among all film makers." Lumet was also known as a "actor's director" because he worked with the best of them during his career, probably more than "any other director." Sean Connery, who appeared in five of his films, rated him as one of his favorite directors and one who had the "vision thing" as a result. Lumet, a member of the original Actors Studio in New York, began his directorial career in Off-Broadway film productions and then became a highly efficient television director.
12 Angry Men (1957), his first film, was based on a dramatic jury deliberation.
Lumet has since divided his energies into political and social drama films, as well as adaptations of literary plays and books, extensive illustrated books, and realistic crime dramas, including Serpico and Prince of the City.
In 2005, Lumet received an Academy Award for his contribution to screenwriters, actors, and the art of the motion picture, as a result of his role as the director of 12 Angry Men. He completed his career with the acclaimed drama Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007).
A few months after Lumet's death in April 2011, a retrospective celebration of his work was held at the Lincoln Center in New York featuring many speakers and film stars.
Nancy Buirski produced By Sidney Lumet, a documentary about his work, in 2015, and PBS dedicated its American Masters series to Lumet's life as a director in January 2017.
Personal life and death
Lumet was married four times, but the first three marriages ended in divorce. Rita Gambel, from 1949 to 1955; to artist and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt from 1956 to 1978; and then to Mary Bailey Gimbel (ex-wife of Peter Gimbel). He had two children by Jones: Amy, who was married to P.J. O'Rourke from 1990 to 1993, as well as actress/screenwriter Jenny, who appeared in his film Q&A. Rachel Getting Married (2008) wrote the screenplay, as well as co-creating two television series with Alex Kurtzman, The Silence of the Lambs sequel Clarice, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Lumet died of lymphoma at the age of 86 in Manhattan on April 9, 2011. Lumet replied, "I don't think about it" when asked in a 1997 interview about how he wanted to "go out." I'm not religious. I do know that I don't want to take up any more space. "Over Katz's Delicatessen, burn me up and scatter my ashes."
