John Nicholas Cassavetes (December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, by writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a realistic cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably ''Rosemary's Baby'' (1968) and ''The Dirty Dozen'' (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, using an acting technique based on muscle memory.〔Brennan, Sandra. 〕 His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. ==Early life== Cassavetes was born in New York City, the son of Greek American Katherine Cassavetes (née Demetre), who was to be featured in some of his films, and Greek immigrant Nicholas John Cassavetes. His early years were spent with his family in Greece; when he returned at age seven, he spoke no English.〔Ventura, Michael. 2007. ''Cassavetes Directs: John Cassavetes and the Making of Love Streams'', ISBN 1-84243-228-1; p. 176〕 He was reared on Long Island, New York. He attended Port Washington High School from 1945 to 1947 and participated in ''Port Weekly'' (the school paper), ''Red Domino'' (interclass play), football, and the ''Port Light'' (yearbook). Next to his photo on page 55 of his 1947 yearbook is written: "'Cassy' is always ready with a wisecrack, but he does have a serious side. A 'sensational' personality. Drives his 'heap' all over." Cassavetes attended Blair Academy in New Jersey and spent a year at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. He transferred to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he met his future wife Gena Rowlands, and graduated in 1950. He continued acting in the theater, took small parts in films and began working on television in anthology series, such as ''Alcoa Theatre''.
