Conrad L Hall has had 10 Oscar nominations

The late cinematographer Conrad L Hall, who won his third Oscar two months after his death in January, has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Hall, who died aged 76 following complications from bladder cancer, was awarded his Oscar for his work on Sam Mendes' Road to Perdition.

The cinematographer's star is the 2,224th on the Walk of Fame, and is near the star of his friend and fellow cinematographer Haskell Wexler.

And Hall's many honours include a lifetime achievement award from his peers at the American Society of Cinematographers.

Road to Perdition followed his work on American Beauty

During his long career, Hall was no stranger to award ceremonies having notched up 10 Academy Award nominations.

The son of author James Normal Hall, who wrote Mutiny on the Bounty, he studied film-making at the renowned film school of University of Southern California.

Hall set up a production company with two friends, producing a project they sold to television.

The company then launched into the advertising world and industry films.

American Beauty won Conrad L Hall an Oscar in 2000

Hall was hired as a cinematographer on the TV series Stoney Burke, which starred Hawaii Five-O's Jack Lord.

But is was not until 1970 that Hall finally stepped up to the podium to collect an Academy Award for best cinematography, for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

His other Oscar-nominated films included Day of the Locust (1975), Tequila Sunrise (1988), Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) and A Civil Action (1998).

In 2000, Hall's work on the dark family tale American Beauty was recognised by the Academy for his exquisite lighting.
