# Quote 1 [on how he got into the film industry] I started out as the lowest guy on [D.W. Griffith 's] payroll. I was the assistant to everybody. I painted the properties and cleaned the cuspidors. All for $10 a week. 2 [reflecting on his career] Long ago I quit thinking that every picture I did was going to be an Academy Award contender. I'm a commercial director. I know how to save money and get something on the screen. I let those artsy guys shoot the scenes through chandeliers or from behind the wine glass. That's not for me. 3 [on his career slide from top-ranked director in the 1920s and 1930s to working on Poverty Row "B"--and lower--quickies in the 1940s] A couple of producers told me I was washed up. But making movies is what I do. It's what I know how to do, and I don't plan to stop now. I've got no regrets. I just have to start over. 4 [when informed that a Monogram quickie he was working on was falling behind schedule] You mean someone out there is actually waiting to see THIS? 5 I've been moderate in everything, I never set out to break any records.
# Fact 1 Contrary to popular opinion, he was never nicknamed "One-Shot" during his lifetime. The nickname was given to him years after his death and is actually inaccurate, as he did in fact shoot retakes when absolutely necessary. 2 Grandfather of Skip Beaudine . 3 Uncle of Robert J. Anderson . 4 The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences' Special Collections houses the William Beaudine Collection. The collection, which covers Beaudine's career from 1912 to 1973, encompasses 5.8 linear feet of documents and other items, including scripts (motion picture, television, and unproduced); scrapbooks and loose clippings; correspondence; contracts; photographs; and books and periodicals. There are scripts for 54 of Beaudine's feature films and 27 of his television episodes. Items of particular interest include two original caricature sketches of Beaudine; several files of his directing contracts from 1916 through 1934; "Bill Beaudine's Box Score," a nine-page typed list prepared by Beaudine of his directing credits from 1915 through 1969; two issues of "Film Follies" (the Christie Film Company house organ), five issues of the "Kalem Kalendar", and five "Biograph Bulletins" from 1912 and 1914. The collection was donated to AMPAS by William Beaudine Jr. and Lucille Beaudine Warden in February 1992. 5 Father of Helen Beaudine , Margaret Beaudine . 6 He and director James Flood had been friends since they grew up as children in the same neighborhood in New York City. In fact, Flood's wife was the sister of Beaudine's wife. 7 In 1947 Beaudine was hired to direct a religious-themed film for the Protestant Film Commission. It was successful and they were so impressed with his work they hired him on a regular basis, and from 1947 to 1955 he directed 10 more films for the organization--an evangelical Christian group--all of which were designed to spread the word of God and try to convert non-believers to Christianity. Ironically, Beaudine himself was an atheist. 8 He became a master of the technique of "editing in the camera." Instead of shooting full coverage of scenes, he would shoot only what he knew was absolutely necessary. This saved both production time and raw stock, an important factor at the Poverty Row studios where he worked. 9 He directed over half of the Bowery Boys films. 10 Beaudine worked almost exclusively on low-budget quickies and was an efficient workman who could churn out films and television episodes on time and in budget. 11 Father of William Beaudine Jr. 12 Brother of director Harold Beaudine . 13 First cousin of editor Chester W. Schaeffer .
