* 16-9-1893, Turkeve (Hongarije) -  †  23-1-1956, Londen.

Alexander was de broer van de filmregisseur Zoltan  en de scenarioschrijver Vincent Korda; hij was getrouwd met de actrice Merle Oberon. Korda studeerde aan de universiteit te Boedapest. Sinds 1915 was hij bij de film werkzaam. In 1932 richtte Korda de London Films op, bouwde de denham Studio en  begon in 1939 de Alexander Korda-films, die in Hollywood onder  United Artists geproduceerd werden. Zijn grootste kracht ligt in zijn vermogen talent te bundelen, waardoor hij de  Engelse film groot aanzien verschafte. Hij regisseerde o.a.: The private life of Henry VIII (1932), Rembrandt (1936), An ideal husband (1948). Als producent is de naam van Korda verbonden aan o.a.: The third man (1949), Tales of Hoffmann (1951), The beggar’s opera (1952), Richard III  (1955).
