James Francis Cameron (born August 16, 1954) is an Academy Award-winning Canadian-American director, producer and screenwriter. He is noted for his action/science fiction films, which are often highly innovative and financially successful. Thematically, James Cameron's films generally explore the relationship between man and technology. Cameron wrote and directed the film Titanic, which went on to become the top-grossing film of all time, with a worldwide gross of over US$1.8 billion. He also created the Terminator franchise. To date, his directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$3 billion, unadjusted for inflation. Since Titanic, Cameron has made documentaries, and is working on a return to science fiction films with 2009's Avatar.

Mark James Cameron (17 June 1911 - 26 January, 1985) was a prominent British journalist, in whose memory the annual James Cameron Memorial Lecture is given.

Cameron was born in Battersea, London of Scottish parentage; his father, William Ernest Cameron, was a barrister who also wrote novels under the pseudonym "Mark Allerton".

Cameron began his career as an office dogsbody with the Weekly News in 1935. Having worked for Scottish newspapers and for the Daily Express in Fleet Street, he was rejected for military service in World War II. After the war, his experience reporting on the Bikini Atoll nuclear experiments turned him into a committed pacifist and a founding member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. He continued to work for the Express until 1950, when he briefly joined Picture Post, where he and photographer Bert Hardy covered the Korean War, winning the Missouri Pictures of the Year Award for "Inchon". Picture Post editor Sir Tom Hopkinson lost his job when he defended the pair over their Pusan U.N. atrocities coverage, as publisher Sir Edward G. Hulton opted to self-censor the story.

Cameron then spent eight years with the News Chronicle. In his last years, he wrote a regular column for The Guardian.

Cameron also did illustration work, especially in his early career. Working in Scotland for D. C. Thomson, he provided drawings for the sensationalist items carried in Thomson's publications. At one point he rebelled when asked to draw a murder of a young girl, over-embellishing it with excesses of blood and other grisly detail. Called to Thomson's office, to his surprise he was rebuked merely for exposing her underwear, with no mention of the blood.

He was married three times, to Elma, Elizabeth and Moni; and had three children, Desmond, Elma and Fergus. Besides journalism and history, he wrote two volumes of autobiography: Point of Departure, a chronicle of his life, and An Indian Summer, about his relationship with India; his marriage to Moni, an Indian; and his serious car accident and near death in Calcutta.

With the advent of television, Cameron became well-known as a broadcaster, presenting several BBC series including Cameron Country. He also wrote a successful radio play, The Pump (1973), based on his experience of open heart surgery.

James Cameron (February 23, 1914 in La Crosse, Wisconsin - June 11, 2006 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was a civil rights activist. He founded America's Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee. At the time of his death, he was America's only known survivor of a lynching.

Professor James Cameron is a British forensic scientist whose testimony at the Lindy Chamberlain trial in 1982 led to her conviction for the murder of her baby daughter Azaria. Her conviction was overturned in 1988.

James Cameron was born in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Canada, on August 16, 1954. He moved to the USA in 1971. The son of an engineer, he majored in physics at California State University but, after graduating, drove a truck to support his screen-writing ambition. He landed his first professional film job as art director, miniature-set builder, and process-projection supervisor on Roger Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) and debuted as a director with Piranha Part Two: The Spawning (1981) the following year. In 1984, he wrote and directed Terminator, The (1984), a futuristic action-thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Biehn, and Linda Hamilton (I). It was a huge success. After this came a string of successful science-fiction action films such as Aliens (1986) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Cameron is now one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. He was formerly married to producer Gale Anne Hurd, who produced several of his films. He married Kathryn Bigelow in 1989.
