Arthur Miller

A former child actor, lab technician and camera assistant (for director Edwin S Porter), Arthur Miller graduated to director of photography in 1918. He went on to become one of Hollywood's foremost cinematographers of the 1940s, working on a host of acclaimed 20th Century-Fox productions. Miller received three Oscars for his superlative work on John Ford's "How Green Was My Valley" (1941), Henry King's "The Song of Bernadette" (1943) and John Cromwell's "Anna and the King of Siam" (1946). His active career was cut short by tuberculosis in 1951.
