Gilbert Taylor, a renowned cinematographer and director, entered the world on April 21, 1914, in the picturesque Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom. This talented individual left an indelible mark on the film industry, with his impressive body of work including the iconic Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, released in 1977, the visually stunning Flash Gordon, which premiered in 1980, and the chilling The Omen, which captivated audiences in 1976.
Throughout his personal life, Gilbert Taylor was married twice, first to the lovely Dee Vaughan and later to the charming Eileen Donnelly. Tragically, his life came to a close on August 23, 2013, in the quaint Newport, Isle of Wight, England, United Kingdom.
