Ilya Salkind (born Ilya Juan Salkind Dominguez, July 27, 1947 in Mexico City) grew up in the world of motion pictures. At the age of one, Ilya was photographed sitting on the lap of Zsa Zsa Gabor. His grandfather, Michael Salkind, was one of the pioneers of silent films and produced Joyless Street (1925), featuring then-relatively-unknown Greta Garbo in her first major role. Afterwards, his grandfather Mikhail and his own father Alexander Salkind joined their forces to supervise many successful films, from Orson Welles' The Trial (1962) to Abel Gance's Austerlitz (1959). Soon, beginning in 1969, Ilya became the third generation of this highly-successful movie-making family. is the 208th day of the year (209th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Ilya Salkind and his father accumulated a stunning filmography, starting with The Three Musketeers (1973) and its 1974 follow-up, The Four Musketeers — marking the first major instance in which a major motion picture and its immediate sequel were shot simultaneously. After dazzling fans of historical cinema even more with their 1977 adaptation of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper, Team Salkind pioneered the era of the superhero film franchise with Superman: The Movie, the first major comic book film of all time. Ilya and Alexander followed up with the successful Superman II (1980) and the less successful Superman III (1983). Ilya did not want to do another Superman film after Superman III and instead decided to again explore uncharted territory with the first film about a Superheroine with Supergirl (1984).
