Mythologist, Author. He became fascinated with Native American culture as a child and this lead to a lifelong interest in mythology and religion, in particular the similar themes that were found across various cultures throughout history. A professor at Sarah Lawrence College for thirty-eight years he was the author of several books, including "The Hero With a Thousand Faces," "Myths to Live By," and a four-volume series entitled "The Masks of God." In 1986 he completed the filming of a PBS series with Bill Moyers called The Power of Myth and later co-authored a book of the same title with Moyers. Campbell’s friend, film director George Lucas, is said to have based the Star Wars series on ideas gleaned from Campbell’s books. (bio by: Melanie)
