Father, Peter Soderbergh , was a professor and dean of the College of Education at Louisiana State University where Steven took some classes.
Stevens paternal grandfather was a Swedish immigrant ("Soderbergh" is a Swedish surname), while Stevens paternal grandmother had Irish ancestry. All of Stevens maternal great-grandparents were Italian immigrants.
In 2001, he became the first director in 62 years to have twin Best Director Oscar nominations for Erin Brockovich and Traffic . The last director to do that was Michael Curtiz with twin nominations for Angels with Dirty Faces and Four Daughters .
Became the youngest winner ever of the Palme dOr at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival for Sex, Lies, and Videotape , his feature film directorial debut. He was 26.
Daughter Sarah Soderbergh (born in February 1990) with Betsy Brantley.
Elected first vice president of the Directors Guild of America in March 2002.
Ranked #39 in Premieres 2003 annual Power 100 List. Had ranked #35 in 2002.
Was offered the chance to direct Quiz Show , with Tim Robbins in the role of Charles Van Doren.
Has directed three actors to Oscar nominations: Julia Roberts , Albert Finney and Benicio Del Toro. Roberts and Del Toro won the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor Oscars, respectively, for Erin Brockovich and Traffic .
Was a member of the dramatic jury at Robert Redford s Sundance Film Festival in Utah in 1990, just one year after he had apologetically unveiled Sex, Lies, and Videotape , his directorial debut, which he then considered to be unpolished and technically incomplete.

So any discussion that omits this issue shows a palpable lack of,experience in the actual making of films on the part of the,scriptwriting teacher/author.
[on Contagion (2011) ] Everybody felt there was a place for an,ultrarealistic film about this subject. Nobody hesitated.
[on Magic Mike (2012) , his film about male-strippers] We were,looking for the right people who had some buzz behind them. They also,had to be able to do what we wanted them to do.
[on realism/accuracy in film and if one can make a movie too smart for,audiences] . . . As sort of airtight as the science is, there used to be,a lot more of it, and what we found out was people started tuning out.
So I think that life is sort of like a drumbeat. It has a rhythm and sometimes it’s fast and sometimes it’s slower, and maybe what’s happening is this drumbeat is just accelerating and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t hear between the beats anymore and it’s just a hum.
