Billy Wilder 

Nació en Sucha -Galitzia- (actual Polonia) en 1906, en el seno del por entonces Imperio Austro-húngaro. Abandonó pronto sus estudios para dedicarse al periodismo y, posteriormente, fue guionista de la UFA. En esta labor trabajó por espacio de 20 años en 27 películas, con directores tan representativos como Ernst Lubitsch y Howard Hawks. Sin embargo, Wilder desarrolló como director un estilo propio, donde la ternura y el romanticismo se han unido a la crítica destructiva, la ironía y el cinismo. Ganó dos Oscar por "Días sin huella" (1945) -dirección y guión-, uno por "El crepúsculo de los dioses" (1950) -guión-, tres por "El apartamento" (1960) -película, dirección y guión-, y recibió otro honorífico en 1987, a pesar de que el propio Hollywood le negó el trabajo desde 1981 hasta su muerte, el 27 de marzo de 2002.
