Los Angeles, California, USA:
Cliff Robertson (9 settembre 1923 – 10 settembre 2011) è stato un attore statunitense, protagonista di una carriera durata oltre cinquant'anni tra cinema, teatro e televisione. Nel corso della sua attività si distinse per la versatilità dei suoi ruoli, ottenendo importanti riconoscimenti per le sue interpretazioni drammatiche. Dopo gli esordi cinematografici in Picnic (1955), si fece conoscere dal grande pubblico interpretando John F. Kennedy nel film PT 109 – Posto di combattimento! (1963). Nel 1968 raggiunse uno dei momenti più importanti della sua carriera con I due mondi di Charly, nel quale interpretò un uomo sottoposto a un intervento sperimentale che ne accresce le capacità intellettive. Per questa interpretazione vinse l'Oscar come miglior attore nel 1969. L'anno precedente aveva inoltre ricevuto un Emmy per il film televisivo The Game. Negli anni successivi recitò in film come L'amaro sapore del potere (1964), La brigata del diavolo (1968), I tre giorni del Condor (1975) e Obsession – Complesso di colpa (1976). Lavorò anche dietro la macchina da presa, dirigendo film come J.W. Coop (1971) e The Pilot (1980). Per le nuove generazioni è ricordato soprattutto per il ruolo di zio Ben Parker nella trilogia di Spider-Man diretta da Sam Raimi, apparendo in Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004) e Spider-Man 3 (2007). Cliff Robertson morì nel 2011, il giorno dopo aver compiuto 88 anni, lasciando un'importante eredità nel cinema e nella televisione statunitense.
