Clarence Brown

**Clarence Leon Brown**, nado en Clinton (Massachusetts) o 10 de maio de 1890 e finado en Santa Monica (California) o 17 de agosto de 1987 foi un director de cinema estadounidense.

## Traxectoria 
Fillo dun fabricante de algodón, mudouse ao Sur cando cumpriu once anos, asistindo ao instituto e á universidade de Knoxville, onde conseguiu dous graos en enxeñería. Traballou na industria automobilística, mais abandonouna en 1913 cando comezou a ter interese no cinema. Foi contratado polo Peerless Studio en Fort Lee, New Jersey e converteuse en axudante do director francés Maurice Tourneur.

Tras participar na primeira guerra mundial codirixiu con Tourneur *The Great Redeemer* (1920). Ese mesmo ano dirixiu unha gran parte de *The Last of the Mohicans* tras ferirse Tourneur nunha caída. En 1924 cambiouse á Universal e despois á Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, onde foi recoñecido polos seus traballos con actrices coma Joan Crawford, á que dirixiu seis veces, e Greta Garbo, coa que rodou sete filmes.

Foi candidato ao Oscar ao mellor director en cinco ocasións, sen gañalo nunca.
