Date of birth: 11.9.1940 Hometown: Newark, New Jersey, USA Real name: Brian Russell De Palma
Brian De Palma was born in Newark, New Jersey, USA. In the 1970s, De Palma helped a close friend on a film project. He helped audition and interview actors. When the film was shot, DePalma did some uncredited writing on an opening "scrawl", a device the friend thought of at the last minute to help explain events in the film, so the audience would not be confused. The friend was George Lucas and the film was Star Wars (1977).
