De Palma attended Columbia University in New York City, and made his first film, ''Icarus'', as a student there. After graduating in 1962, he spent time at Sarah Lawrence College on a writing fellowship. In the mid-1960s De Palma began working on his feature-length debut with ''Film/TheWeddingParty'', released in 1969 and featured an up-and-coming actor named Creator/RobertDeNiro. De Palma’s career began to take off in the '70s with the horror film ''Film/{{Carrie|1976}}'', based on a Creator/StephenKing novel. Often compared to the legendary director Creator/AlfredHitchcock, De Palma has helmed numerous thrillers, such as ''Film/DressedToKill'' (1980), ''Film/BlowOut'' (1981), and ''Film/BodyDouble'' (1984). He also helped create one of Creator/AlPacino's most iconic roles: as Tony Montana, a Cuban refugee who climbs the criminal ladder to become a Miami drug kingpin in ''Film/{{Scarface|1983}}'' (1983). In 1987, De Palma directed ''Film/{{The Untouchables|1987}}'', based on the [[Series/TheUntouchables TV series]] about real-life federal agent Eliot Ness and his war against the Chicago bootlegging empire of UsefulNotes/AlCapone.
