John Badham

English-born John Badham, an "Army brat" by virtue of his father's military service, is the biological son of renowned English actress Mary Hewitt, and as such, holds a unique familial connection to the American Army general who later became his stepfather. This intriguing blend of British and American cultural influences played a significant role in shaping Badham's early life, as he spent his formative years in Alabama, where he was educated at the prestigious Yale University.
