Adrian Lyne

Born: 4 March 1941
Where: Peterborough, UK

British director Adrian Lyne has come far since his debut behind the camera with Foxes in 1980.

His next project became an international smash hit, and is now considered a cult classic musical movie - Flashdance.

Since his huge success in 1983, Adrian has specialised in highly successful movies - all sexually explicit in either ideas or visuals!

In 1986 he directed Nine and a Half Weeks, in which Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger shocked viewers with the amount of flesh they bared.

These scenes were usually relegated to top shelf B-Movies, but Adrian brought his revolutionary ideas to the Hollywood mainstream.

Next came Fatal Attraction - equally as saucy - full of sexually related obsessions and psychopathic actions.

In 1993 he directed Demi Moore and Robert Redford in Indecent Proposal, in which a happy couple is offered a million dollars if the woman will sleep with a millionaire.

More recently Adrian helmed Unfaithful, for which Diane Lane was nominated for an Oscar.
