George William Hill Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Beginning his career at age 13 as a stagehand for D.W. Griffith, George W. Hill worked his way up through cinematography and screenwriting to finally begin directing films in the early 1920s. His later films took on a stark, brutally realistic atmosphere and were renowned for their effective use of shadows in the lighting as in The Big House (1930)...
Slated to direct The Good Earth (1937), Hill was found dead, an apparent suicide, during pre-production work on the film and director Sidney Franklin was called upon to complete the project.
