LUCIEN BALLARD

Born: 6 May 1908, Miami, Oklahoma, USA, as Lucien Keith Ballard.

Died: 1 October 1988, Rancho Mirage, Calif., USA.

Education: University of Oklahoma, Norman; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Career: 'Well, I was doing a little bit of everything at the time. I'd been kicked out of three or four universities in the Midwest, and I ended up in China. Then I came back and started working in sawmills, out in the woods, surveying. I was in L.A. in 1929, and a girl I knew was a script girl at Paramount They'd had a fire which destroyed their sound stages, so they were working at night a lot. I went over to see her, and I would be on the lot while they were shooting; someone asked me to give him a hand, and I started helping out some of the cameramen, loading cameras onto trucks and things. Pretty soon they asked me to work there. [...] I remember the first picture I was on was a circus picture with Clara Bow, and after we finished, Clara Bow invited me to a party at her home; I came home three days later, and I said, "Boy, this is the business for me!" [From interview with Leonard Maltin in 'Behind the Camera: The Cinematographer's Art', 1971.]

Became general asst, c.asst and c.op [for 5 years working with Victor Milner, Charles Rosher, a.o.] at Paramount. Also active as film editor. As doph with Columbia [1935-1940], RKO [for 2 pictures], 20th Century Fox [1941-45], Universal [2 years], RKO [2 years] and 20th Century Fox [1950-56]. Became freelance.

The film 'Berlin Express' [1947] was shot in Europe. Ballard stayed there for 2 years and didn't ph any films: 'I skied a lot, and lived all over.'

Was married [wooed and won her during the making of 'The Lodger'] to actress Merle Oberon [26 June (in Juarez, Mexico) 1945-August 1949]. Because of facial scars sustained by Oberon in a London car crash in 1937, Ballard designed a compact spotlight that he coined the 'Obie' [Oberon's nickname]. Mounted on the side of the camera, the device lights the subject head on, thus reducing the incidence of unflattering facial lines and shadows.

Was a member of the ASC.

Awards: Venice IFF 'Best Cinematography Award' [1935; shared] for 'The Devil Is a Woman'; 'Oscar' AA nom [1963; b&w] for 'The Caretakers'; NSFC Award [1970] for 'The Wild Bunch'.

Lucien Ballard has to be ranked among the greatest of Hollywood cinematographers. He began his career at Paramount as editor and assistant to the great cameraman Lee Garmes on Josef von Sternberg's 'Morocco', starring Marlene Dietrich. Ballard then entered the next phase of his training when he struggled to make all forms of genre films a bit distinguished. The late 1930s saw his credits accumulate, even through work on many a two-reeler including the comedies of The Three Stooges and Charlie Chase. His principal employer, Columbia Pictures, may have been on Poverty Row, but it afforded Ballard the perfect place to learn to shoot Hollywood films quickly and efficiently.

World War II, with many talented cameramen off working for the military, provided him with a chance to move up to top Hollywood productions. He jumped from Columbia to Twentieth Century-Fox, a top studio. In the mid-1940s he became a bit of a celebrity as the husband of Merle Oberon and the cameraman who struggled with Howard Hughes to create the idiosyncratic Western, 'The Outlaw'.

But then his career stuck and he returned to shooting lower-budget fare. He achieved a measure of excellence with 'The Killer Is Loose' and 'Buchanan Rides Alone' for Budd Boetticher, and 'The Killing' for Stanley Kubrick. In 1962 his career took a turn for the better and he began to achieve fame as an exceptional cameraman with work for director Sam Peckinpah. Their 'Ride the High Country' stands as one of the most beautiful of Westerns. This final phase of Ballard's career was underlined with greatness for the clean, elegant visual style he brought to the Western just, ironically, as that form was passing from the movie screen. [From article by Douglas Gomery on the filmreference.com website.]

Obituary: Lucien Ballard, a cinematographer whose sensuous images contributed to the heyday of the black-and-white film as well as the era of the three-dimensional color spectacular, died Saturday at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He was 84 years old and had been injured in an auto accident. In a career that spanned nearly 50 years, Mr. Ballard worked on more than 100 films with directors as disparate as Josef von Sternberg, Henry Hathaway, Raoul Walsh, Sam Peckinpah and Stanley Kubrick.

Although Mr. Ballard's credits included two-reel comedies featuring the Three Stooges as well as 3-D efforts like 'Inferno', he was best known for work on such feature films as 'Crime and Punishment', 'Band of Angels', 'The Wild Bunch' and 'True Grit'. He received an Academy Award nomination in 1963 for his cinematography in 'The Caretakers'.

In his review of 'True Grit', Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote: ''Anyone interested in what good cinematography means can compare Ballard's totally different contributions to 'The Wild Bunch' and 'True Grit'. In 'The Wild Bunch', the camera work is hard and bleak and largely unsentimental. The images of 'True Grit' are as romantic and autumnal as its landscapes, which, in the course of the story, turn with the season from the colors of autumn to the white of winter.''

Lucien Ballard discovered the world of film making after a Paramount Studios script woman he was dating took him to a three-day party given by Clara Bow.

Mr. Ballard was married to Merle Oberon from 1945 to 1949 and photographed five of her films, including 'The Lodger'. His last film, before he retired in 1978, was 'Rabbit Test'. He is survived by a brother, two sons, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. [Glenn Collins in The New York Times, October 6, 1988.]
