Moviemaker Brian De Palma, born this day in 1940, is the thinking man's action director. With movies including Scarface and The Untouchables under his directing belt, De Palma has made classics from what could have easily been popcorn fluff. Born in Newark, New Jersey the young moviemaking hopeful made a smash directing the "Dancing in the Dark" video for fellow garden state icon Bruce Springsteen.
