Howard Hawks
He was born Howard Winchester Hawks in Goshen, Indiana but he moved to Southern California early in his life. Hawks graduated from Cornell University in 1918. At Cornell he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and he worked on some early movies during the summer of 1916 and 1917. After graduation he joined the United States Army Air Service during World War I. After the war ended he worked at a number of jobs: racecar driver, aviator, designer in an aircraft factory, but by 1924 he had moved back to the Hollywood and joined the movie industry. Hawks wrote his first screenplay, "Tiger Love", in 1924 and he directed his first film, "The Road to Glory", in 1925. Hawks re-worked the scripts of most of the films he directed but without taking official credit for his writing.
Howard Hawks directed a total of eight silent films (including "Fazil" from 1928), however, unlike some of his fellow silent-film directors, he was able to make the transition to sound without difficulty. His most important films were all done with the spoken word.

Agradoot and Billy Wilder

Billy Wilder

Bridging the transition between the studio system and the rise of independent producer-directors, and still active in the 'New Hollywood' era, Billy Wilder was a key player in the American cinema throughout the postwar period. A '30s screenwriter who became a contract director in the '40s, by 1950 Wilder had come to be regarded as a consummate studio auteur. Producing from the mid-1950s, he and his co-screenwriters were renowned in front office and fan magazine for making money, teasing audience sensibilities, and pleasing the critics. If the early-1960s saw a critical downturn, by the mid-1970s Wilder's reputation led to accolades and awards.( From sensesofcinema)
