The Resume

    (June 5, 1928-November 14, 1991)
    Birth name is Cecil Antonio Richardson
    Directed the films 'The Entertainer (1960),' 'A Taste of Honey (1961),' 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962),' 'Tom Jones (1963),' 'The Loved One (1965),' 'The Border (1982),' 'The Hotel New Hampshire (1984)' and 'Blue Sky (1994)'
    Ex-husband of Vanessa Redgrave and father of Natasha Richardson and Joely Richardson

Why he might be annoying:

    He divorced Vanessa Redgrave after five years of marriage and two children.
    He made a film called 'Nijinsky' in 1970 but left it unfinished for the rest of his life and so it has never been released.
    He died of AIDS just after completing his last film 'Blue Sky,' as a result it was not released for another three years.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He led the charge of 'New Wave' directors of the 1950s/1960s.
    He screened a preview of his film 'Tom Jones' for John F Kennedy just days before his assassination and it is said to be the last film Kennedy ever saw.
    He worked frequently with Sir John Gielgud and his wife, Vanessa Redgrave, until their separation.
    He won the 1963 Best Director Oscar for 'Tom Jones.'
