Daniel Haller(1929-2024)
- Director
- Art Director
- Production Designer
Daniel Haller was born in Glendale, California, and received his art
training at the renowned Chouinard Institute. By chance, he happened to
meet New World Pictures head Roger Corman
in the mid-1950s when Corman was still an unknown, independent
producer-director-jack-of-all-trades. Corman persuaded Haller to become
an art director, a relationship that continued through some 30 Corman
films. He later became a director, under Corman's banner, turning out
such films as Paddy (1970) and
Devil's Angels (1967), with
John Cassavetes. In 1971, he
moved over to television, directing episodes of
Kojak (1973),
Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law (1971)
and The Blue Knight (1975),
as well as such made-for-TV films as
Black Beauty (1978) and
Little Mo (1978). Haller
lives in the western San Fernando Valley on a ranch with his family,
where they raise horses.
