Lawrence Julian Schiller (born December 28, 1936) is a noted American film producer, director and screenwriter. ==Career== Schiller was born in 1936 in Brooklyn, and grew up outside of San Diego, California. After attending Pepperdine College in Los Angeles, he worked for ''Life'' magazine, ''Paris Match'', ''The Sunday Times'', ''Time'', ''Newsweek'', ''Stern'', and ''The Saturday Evening Post'' as a photojournalist. He published his first book, ''LSD'', in 1966. Since then he has published eleven books, including W. Eugene Smith's ''Minamata'' and Norman Mailer's ''Marilyn''. He collaborated with Albert Goldman on ''Ladies and Gentleman'', ''Lenny Bruce'' (in 1967 he edited and produced the Capitol Records audio documentary album "Why did Lenny Bruce die?") 〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ggWZj88fI〕 and with Norman Mailer on ''The Executioner's Song'' and ''Oswald's Tale''. His own books that became national bestsellers and made the ''New York Times'' Bestseller list include ''American Tragedy'', ''Perfect Murder, Perfect Town'', ''Cape May Court House'', and ''Into the Mirror.'' He has directed seven motion pictures and miniseries for television; ''The Executioner's Song'' and ''Peter the Great'' won five Emmys. ''American Tragedy'', ''Perfect Murder, Perfect Town'' and ''Into the Mirror'' were made into television mini-series for CBS, all of which Schiller produced and directed. In 2008, after the death of the writer Norman Mailer, he was named Senior Advisor to the Norman Mailer Estate and is the Managing Director of The Norman Mailer Center and Writers Colony, in New York, NY, which he created with Norris Mailer. Schiller was a close friend of Mailer and collaborator on five of his works, and represents the Norman Mailer Licensing company. Schiller served as a consultant to political campaigns and major corporations on such issues as crisis management, branding, public imaging and the use of social networking. Schiller has been an on air analyst to NBC news, a consultant to TASCHEN Publishing, Annie Leibovitz Studio, Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas and has written for ''The New Yorker'', ''The Daily Beast'' and other publications. In 2005, Schiller traveled to China and over two years built a collection of Chinese contemporary art, which numbers over 80 paintings and photographs. In 2007, he showed his own photographs for the first time in the USA at the exhibition ''Marilyn Monroe and America in the 1960s''. It is for these photographs of Marilyn that Schiller is perhaps best known as a photographer. Schiller first shot Marilyn in May 1960 on the set of ''Let’s Make Love'', and then again in 1962 when he was hired to shoot the starlet on the set of what would become the last film she would ever work on, the unfinished ''Something’s Got To Give''. Marilyn & Me, Schiller's eleventh book, commemorates his experience photographing the Hollywood legend, complete with 131 color and black and white photographs. 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「Lawrence Schiller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
