Billy Wilder 　Many experts say that Billy Wilder changed the history of American movies. He is often called the best moviemaker Hollywood has ever had. Wilder was one of the first directors to do this. Between the middle 1930s and the 1980s, Billy Wilder made almost fifty movies. He won six of the Oscar awards. His movies have been seen by people around the world.

In 1959, Wilder made a funny movie “Some Like It Hot.” that was very popular. Billy Wilder continued to make interesting movies through the 1960s and 1970s. Over the years, however, other writers and directors also did this. By the 1980s Wilder no longer was considered the most unusual creative(有创造力的)moviemaker in Hollywood.

In recent years, however, Billy Wilder received many more awards and honors. Critics(评论家)praised his gifts(才能)to movie making. In 1987, he won another kind of awards. It is the highest award a producer can receive. Wilder died in March, 2002. He was 95. A Hollywood producer said, “Billy Wilder made movies that people will never forget.”
