In many ways, Hollywood can feel like a small town. Sure, Los Angeles is one of the biggest cities in the world, and the famous neighborhood has long been known as the hotbed of the global film industry. Still, when you start to trace all the names and faces from the early days into contemporary culture, it\u2019s fascinating how many of these names reappear time and again.<\/p>\n
One example that many might not realize is that Emily<\/a> and Zooey Deschanel<\/a> are the daughters of Mary Jo Deschanel<\/a> and acclaimed director of photography Caleb Deschanel<\/a>. And, while there’s certainly plenty of on-camera talent in the family, Deschanel\u2019s behind-the-scenes work has been quite expansive and hugely influential, not just to his family name, but to the entire Hollywood film scene.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s take a moment to look back through the career of Caleb Deschanel, a six-time Academy Award nominated cinematographer, a member of the National Film Preservation Board of the Library of Congress<\/a>, and the DP behind numerous classics like The Right Stuff<\/em><\/a>, The Natural<\/em><\/a>, The Passion of the Christ<\/a>, <\/em>and Jack Reacher<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
