Some Lesser Known Facts About Steven Spielberg

Spielbergâs paternal grandparents were Ukrainian Jews who immigrated to the United States in the 1900s.
Being an orthodox Jew, he suffered from anti-Semitic (Anti-Jew) prejudice and bullying: âIn high school, I got smacked and kicked around. Two bloody noses. It was horribleâ, Spielberg said in an interview.
When he was doing his schooling, his parents divorced and he decided to stay with his father.
Since childhood, he had a wish to be a director.
When he was 12, he started making films.
As a kid, Spielberg recorded family events using an 8-mm camera and made some horror films with his younger sisters.
His short film Amblinâ (1968) got the attention of the Universal Pictures and he was signed by it to a seven-year contract.
He was rejected by both the University of Southern California and UCLA, at least once each, due to his poor grades.
When he divorced his first wife Amy, he had to give $100 million alimony to Amy. It was the third most costly celebrity divorce in history.
He met his second wife when he cast her in Indiana Jones and the Temple Doom.
Spielberg and filmmaker George Lucas have been friends for a long time.
Back in 1977, George Lucas lost a bet to Spielberg worth $40 million. Spielberg told this story in an interview, âhe came to me and he said, âOh my God, your movie is going to be so much more successful than âStar Warsâ! This is gonna be the biggest hit of all time. I canât believe this set. I canât believe what youâre getting, and oh my goodness.â He said, âAll right, Iâll tell you what. Iâll trade some points with you. You want to trade some points? Iâll give you 2.5% of âStar Warsâ if you give me 2.5% of âClose Encounters.â So I said, âSure, Iâll gamble with that. Great.â Later on, Close Encounters made $304 million while Lucasâs movie made $775 million at the global box office.
His film Jurassic Park was the highest grossing movie in 1993.
Spielberg did not get any salary for making his 1993 film âSchindlerâs Listâ. This movie received seven Academy Awards. Many film actors lobbied Spielberg for the role of Oscar Schindler but he took Liam Neeson for the role. At that time Liam Neeson was not so popular, he got his breakthrough from this movie.
