Curtis Hanson
Moving forward, Hanson's directorial efforts started to get some attention with ''The Bedroom Window'' (1987), and ''Bad Influence'' (1990). Eventually, he had a breakthrough with ''The Hand That Rocks the Cradle'' (1992), which made $140 million at the box-office. Afterwards Hanson had a streak of generally well reviewed and commercially successful films ''The River Wild'' (1994), ''L.A. Confidential'' (1997), ''Wonder Boys'' (2000), ''8 Mile'' (2002), and ''In Her Shoes'' (2005).
For his work of ''L.A. Confidential,'' Hanson won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1998, for co-writing with Brian Helgeland, along with additional nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and for competing for the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.
Up until 2014, Hanson continued to produce and direct. During this time, he fell ill and it led him to retire. Hanson died of natural causes in 2016. Provided by Wikipedia
