72 dga quarterly CORNERMAN: Martin Scorsese, a Lifetime Achievement honoree in 2003, directs Robert De Niro in Raging Bull (1980). To prepare for the film, Scorsese attended a number of boxing matches and was struck by the sight of blood dripping off the ropes, which he duplicated in the film. FRAMED: Robert Butler, inaugural recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in TV in 2015, directed such landmark pilots as Hill Street Blues, Star Trek, and Moonlighting. "My effort was to bring life, clarity, and the recognition of truthful behavior so audiences could be touched and transported by these shows." MIND GAMES: 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Miloš Forman (right) stages a brawl between R.P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) and a hospital aide in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). Many of the actors, including the ones who were actual mental patients, stayed in character even when the cameras weren't rolling.
