Brian De Palma Fast Facts:
  • Initially majored in physics at Columbia University before turning his attention to filmmaking.
  • Made his debut film, the 1960 short Icarus, while at Columbia.
  • Was fired by Warner Bros. during production of his first studio film, the offbeat 1972 comedy Get to Know Your Rabbit.
  • Rose to fame with his 1976 adaptation of the Stephen King novel Carrie, which starred Sissy Spacek in an Oscar-nominated turn as the title character.
  • Often compared to Alfred Hitchcock—and sometimes accused of stealing from him—due to similarities between Hitchcock films and De Palma's thrillers like Sisters (1973) and Dressed to Kill (1980).
