	Movies - Terence Young

Terence Young (June 20, 1915 – September 7, 1994) was a British film director, born in Shanghai, China. He was probably best known for directing three films, including the first, in the James Bond series: Dr. No
(1962), From Russia with Love
(1963), and Thunderball
(1965).

Young began as a screenwriter in British films of the 1940s and 1950s, before directing several films for Irving Allen (not to be confused with disaster film mogul Irwin Allen) and Albert R. Broccoli's Warwick Films in the 1950s, including The Red Beret with Alan Ladd. It was this association that lead him to be offered the job as director for the first two James Bond films.

As a paratrooper during World War II, Young took part in the battle at Arnhem, Netherlands where he was wounded and taken to a local hospital. There he met a nurse named Audrey Heenstra who would later be better known as actress Audrey Hepburn. The two would unite again twenty years later for the 1967 film Wait Until Dark
.
