He was born in Mülhausen, Reichsland Elsaß–Lothringen, then-UsefulNotes/ImperialGermany (nowadays' Mulhouse, [[UsefulNotes/DepartementalIssues Alsace]], UsefulNotes/{{France}}), the son of two Jewish haberdashers. His mother was a cousin of Carl Laemmle, the founder of [[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal Pictures]].

Willi then slowly climbed the ladder of the movie business to become a director.

He's credited with helping propel a number of actors to stardom, directing Creator/AudreyHepburn in her Hollywood debut film, ''Film/RomanHoliday'' (1953), and directing Music/BarbraStreisand in her debut film, ''Theatre/FunnyGirl'' (1968). Both of these performances won Academy Awards. He directed Creator/OliviaDeHavilland to her second Oscar in ''Film/TheHeiress'' (1949) and Creator/LaurenceOlivier to his first Oscar nomination in ''Film/{{Wuthering Heights|1939}}'' (1939). Olivier would later credit Wyler with teaching him how to act for the screen, while Creator/BetteDavis, who received three Oscar nominations under his direction and won her second Oscar in ''Film/{{Jezebel}}'' (1938), said Wyler made her a "far, far better actress" than she had ever been.
