Wes Anderson is a renowned American filmmaker. Wesley Wales Anderson was born on May 1, 1969, in Houston, Texas, to Texas Anderson and Melver Anderson.

His mother Texas Ann Anderson was a realtor and archaeologist and his father Melver Leonard Anderson was an advertising and public relations executive. Wes Anderson is the second of three boys, and his parents divorced when he was eight years old.
