Jack Cardiff (1914-) b. Yarmouth, England.
Britain's finest exponent of colour photography in the post-war years, Cardiff turned to direction with initially pleasing results. Later, his films became progressively less interesting and more flatly performed, and he returned to photography in the 1970s. Cardiff was born in Yarmouth, England in 1914. His parents were vaudeville performers who acted in movies between stage appearances. Sometimes they were extras. Occasionally, his mother played larger roles. The youngster was only four when he made his first appearance in a film called My Son, My Son (1918). Cardiff starred in Billy Rose (1922) and The Card (1922), however, by the time he was 11, the acting assignments were getting further apart. Cardiff was getting too old to continue as a child star. His last performance was in Tiptoes (1927).
