Born Shelton Lee on March 20, 1957, in Atlanta, Ga., Spike Lee moved with his parents to Brooklyn, N.Y., when he was just a boy. He attended the Tisch School of the Arts graduate film program and won a student Academy Award for his short film Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (1983).Lee caught the nation's attention with She's Gotta Have It (1986), in which he also starred.
