Born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, in 1954, James Cameron began working with Roger Corman on special effects and design. He directed The Terminator (1984), Aliens and The Abyss, and then T2: Judgment Day, which advanced computer animation. Titanic (1997) won eleven Oscars and became the highest-grossing film in history, and Avatar (2009) took that record in turn. He is also a deep-sea explorer who has made dives to the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
