Hawks directed eight silent films, but he really came of age with the advent of sound. From the start he demonstrated a sure touch for dialogue in such films as ''Bringing Up Baby'' (1938) and ''Sergeant York'' (1941). A political conservative, he never won a best director Oscar, but did receive an honorary Academy Award in 1975. Hawks's films do celebrate the strong man, but also offer strong roles for favored actresses such as [[Katharine Hepburn]] and [[Lauren Bacall]]. He died at his home in Palm Springs in 1977.
