Conrad Lafcadio Hall, ASC (June 21, 1926 – January 6, 2003) was an American cinematographer from Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia. Named after writers Joseph Conrad and Lafcadio Hearn, he was best known for photographing films such as ''In Cold Blood'', ''Cool Hand Luke'', ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'', ''American Beauty'', and ''Road to Perdition''. For his work he garnered a number of awards, including three Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards. In 2003, Hall was judged to be one of history's ten most influential cinematographers in a survey of the members of the International Cinematographers Guild.〔("Top 10 Most Influential Cinematographers Voted on by Camera Guild," October 16, 2003. ) Retrieved January 28, 2011.〕 ==Early life and career== Born in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia, Hall was the son of writer James Norman Hall〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conrad L. Hall Biography (1926–2003) )〕 and Sarah (Lala) Winchester Hall, who was part-Polynesian. Hall attended the University of Southern California, intending to study journalism, but drifted instead to the university's cinema school, from which he graduated in 1949. He worked on documentaries, in television (''The Outer Limits'') and minor films (including cult classic ''Incubus''), and as a studio camera operator before moving up to cinematographer in major studio films in the mid-1960s. Hall received three Academy Awards for Best Cinematography for ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'' (1969), ''American Beauty'' (1999), and ''Road to Perdition'' (2002) (the last two directed by friend Sam Mendes, who dedicated ''Road to Perdition'' to Hall). The thirty-year gap between his first two Oscars is a record for this award. Additionally, Hall was nominated for ''Morituri'' (1965), ''The Professionals'' (1966), ''In Cold Blood'' (1967), ''The Day of the Locust'' (1975), ''Tequila Sunrise'' (1988), ''Searching for Bobby Fischer'' (1993), and ''A Civil Action'' (1998). Other credits include ''Divorce American Style'' (1967), ''Cool Hand Luke'' (1967), ''Marathon Man'' (1976) and ''Love Affair'' (1994). In 1995 he was a member of the jury at the 19th Moscow International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=19th Moscow International Film Festival (1995) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Conrad Hall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
