Directed by Gene Feldman, Suzette Winter
Overview
He went from street-wise tough to art-collector liberal-activist, from circus-acrobat hunk to Academy Award winner. Burton Stephen Lancaster — later Burt Lancaster — was one of five children of a New York City postal worker. By eighteen, Burt was 6’2” and blessed with the athletic physique and dynamic good looks that helped make him famous. A stint in the Army introduced Burt to acting and led him to Hollywood where his first release, “The Killers” (1946), propelled him to stardom at age 32. He took control of his own career and seldom faltered.
