Steven Spielberg says he thought Jaws would be the ‘last movie I would ever be given to direct’

Steven Spielberg may be one of the most recognisable directors today, but he thought his career was over 50 years ago.

At 78 years old, Spielberg has made iconic films such as Schindler’s List (1993), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and The Post (2017). Among other prizes, he has won three Academy Awards, including two accolades for Best Director for Saving Private Ryan (1998) and Schindler’s List as well as the Irving G Thalberg Memorial Award in 1987.
