Timeline

1955

William Condon (born October 22, 1955) is an American director and screenwriter.

Condon is known for writing and/or directing numerous successful and acclaimed films including Gods and Monsters, Chicago, Kinsey, Dreamgirls, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, and Beauty and the Beast.

He has received two nominations for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Gods and Monsters and Chicago, winning for the former.

Condon was born in New York City on October 22, 1955, the son of a police detective, and was raised in an Irish Catholic family.

1969

In college he saw Sweet Charity (1969), which led to "a lifelong love affair with movies that are reviled and rejected in their time."

After completing college, Condon worked as a journalist for film magazines, including American Film and Millimeter.

1976

He attended Regis High School and Columbia College of Columbia University, graduating in 1976 with a degree in philosophy.

Two films had a significant impact of Condon's early life.

At the age of twelve, he found himself drawn to screenplay writing with his first viewing of Bonnie and Clyde.

1981

In 1981, he won "the world's most difficult film trivia quiz" sponsored by The Village Voice.

His career as a filmmaker began with screenplays for the independent feature Strange Behavior (1981), an homage to the pulp horror films of the 1950s, and the science-fiction feature Strange Invaders (1983), which starred Nancy Allen and Wallace Shawn.

1987

His directorial debut was Sister, Sister (1987), an eerie Southern Gothic mystery starring Eric Stoltz and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Test screenings led to major changes to the film, which still proved a critical failure that set back Condon's career.

1991

Condon emerged a few years later directing a series of made-for-TV thrillers, including Murder 101 (1991), which earned Condon and co-writer Roy Johansen a 1992 Edgar Award for their screenplay.

During this period he also wrote the screenplay for the thriller F/X2 (1991), which was directed by Australian director Richard Franklin.

1994

In 1994, he directed the television movie The Man Who Wouldn't Die, which was met with mixed reviews.

1995

He directed Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995), a sequel to Bernard Rose's 1992 horror film.

It was a critical and commercial failure.

Reminded years later of this phase of his career, Condon said: "It's hard to be lower on the totem pole than being the director for a sequel to a horror movie."

1998

Condon wrote and directed Gods and Monsters (1998), which was based on a novel by Christopher Bram.

His screenplay won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

The New York Times said Condon "may have been the most stunned person at the Academy Awards when his name was announced as the winner for the best adapted screenplay. He has struggled for years in Hollywood as a screenwriter and journalist and is unaccustomed to the hoopla that is now around him."

He was nominated for the same award for his screenplay for Chicago, based on the Broadway musical of the same name.

He received a second Edgar Award for his Chicago screenplay as well.

2004

In 2004 he wrote and directed the film Kinsey, chronicling the life of the controversial sex researcher Alfred Kinsey.

In The New York Times, A.O. Scott wrote that "Bill Condon's smart, stirring [film] has a lot to say on the subject of sex, which it treats with sobriety, sensitivity and a welcome measure of humor."

He continued: "I can't think of another movie that has dealt with sex so knowledgeably and, at the same time, made the pursuit of knowledge seem so sexy. There are some explicit images and provocative scenes, but it is your intellect that is most likely to be aroused.... Mr. Condon's great achievement is to turn Kinsey's complicated and controversial career into a grand intellectual drama."

2005

In 2005, he received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award at the GLAAD Media Awards.

Condon wrote the screenplay for and directed Dreamgirls, an adaptation of the acclaimed Broadway musical of the same name.

2006

It was released in December 2006.

Condon received Directors Guild of America and Broadcast Film Critics Association nominations for directing.

The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards in six categories.

2009

Condon was executive producer of the 81st Academy Awards television broadcast that aired on February 22, 2009, working with producer Laurence Mark.

2011

Condon directed both parts of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (2011 and 2012), adapted from the fourth and final novel in The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.

He was twice nominated for a Razzie for Worst Director for these films, winning for Part 2.

2013

Condon directed The Fifth Estate (2013), a thriller about WikiLeaks starring Benedict Cumberbatch.

He said he chose the project for a change of pace and liked its non-ideological approach to a very complex subject.

He saw it "in the great tradition of journalistic thrillers".

It received mixed responses from critics and underperformed at the box office.

In late 2013, he directed a revised version of the 1997 stage musical Side Show at the La Jolla Playhouse.
