- Anthony Harvey was born on June 3, 1930 in London, England, UK. He was an editor and director, known for The Lion in Winter (1968), Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) and Dutchman (1966). He died on November 23, 2017 in Southampton, New York, USA.
- Frequently worked with Katharine Hepburn.
- Best known for directing The Lion in Winter (1968), which won him an Oscar nomination and a Directors' Guild Award.
- Began in films as a child actor, then worked as an editor before becoming a director.
- Stepson of Morris Harvey.
- [on Stanley Kubrick]: He invited me to see him and I had at least four or five interviews. He gave me the MI5 treatment - "What kind of hours do you work? What time do you go to bed? Are you married? Do you go on holidays?" He wanted somebody who was going to be there seven days a week, twenty-two hours a day, and, indeed, I did work very long hours for him. But, my God, what a great experience! He's a fascinating, funny, brilliant, eccentric fellow. I wouldn't have missed working with him for the world.
- [on Universal's mishandling of "They Might Be Giants"]: They paid $400,000 for the property and for Joanne Woodward, but they didn't understand it. I remember having conversations in Hollywood and they didn't know what Moriarty meant at all.
- I think people get by in life by having wonderful dreams - otherwise, it would be very hard.
