  • كان جي غوردن إدواردز (1867 - 1925) مخرج سينمائي أمريكي كندي، وكذا سيناريست ومنتج خلال فترة بلغ عدد أفلامه أكثر من خمسين فيلماً أنتجوا بين عامي 1914 و1924. اشتهر بإخراجه أربعة وعشرين فيلماً من بطولة ممثلة الإغراء Theda Bara - ومن ضمنها «كليوباترا» وهو أشهر أدوارها - وكذلك فيلم «ملكة سبأ» Queen of Sheba عام 1921. ولد إدواردز في مونتريال ودرس في أكاديمية عسكرية، على أمل أن يكون ضابطا في الجيش البريطاني. لكنه تمرد على الحياة العسكرية واتجه إلى العمل في المسرح. لكن صناعة السينما والمسرح في كندا في ذلك الوقت كانت محدودة، فهاجر إلى الولايات المتحدة للعمل في ذلك المجال. * بوابة سينما (ar)
