Born to an actor and a dancer in 1924 Philadelphia, Sidney Lumet began his theatrical career early. At age 4, he made his stage debut in a Yiddish theater production, and at age 11, he appeared on Broadway in "Dead End Kids."After serving in World War II, Lumet continued his work in theater before gravitating to the fledgling TV industry. He directed numerous TV series before reworking the teleplay 12 Angry Men for the big screen in 1957 -- an effort that resulted in the first of several Oscar nominations for Lumet.
Following this success, Lumet directed a string of critically acclaimed screen adaptations, including Tennessee Williams's The Fugitive Kind (1959) and Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night (1962). In the 1970s, Lumet reached the top of his game with the career-defining classics Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon and Network. He received an honorary Oscar in 2005.
