Biography
Educated at Ohio Wesleyan and State University of Iowa, Bill Butler served a typically long Hollywood apprenticeship before being promoted to cinematographer on the independently produced
Fearless Frank
. Some of the most famous of Butler's many feature-film credits are
The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings
(1975),
Jaws
(1975),
Grease
(1978), and installments two, three, and four of
Rocky
. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his work on
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
and has won Emmies for the TV productions
Raid on Entebbe
(1978) and
A Streetcar Named Desire
