Norman Jewison



Director Norman Jewison's body of work ranges from the Golden Age of live TV (Playhouse 90 and Judy Garland's landmark specials) to a roster of film classics that show a range from an innate social consciousness to fluffy comedies: Doris Day in The Thrill of It All; Steve McQueen's Cincinnati Kid and The Thomas Crown Affair; Rod Steiger's Oscar-winning cop opposite Sidney Poitier in In the Heat of the Night; two religious-themed '70s epics, Fiddler on the Roof and Jesus Christ Superstar; as well as A Soldier's Story, Agnes of God, Moonstruck and The Hurricane. Genial, well-liked and funny, Jewison sat down to reminisce, as he does in his autobiography
This Terrible Business Has Been Good To Me.
