William Beaudine Facts
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences' Special Collections houses the William Beaudine Collection. The collection, which covers Beaudine's career from 1912 to 1973, encompasses 5.8 linear feet of documents and other items, including scripts (motion picture, television, and unproduced); scrapbooks and loose clippings; correspondence; contracts; photographs; and books and periodicals. There are scripts for 54 of Beaudine's feature films and 27 of his television episodes. Items of particular interest include two original caricature sketches of Beaudine; several files of his directing contracts from 1916 through 1934; "Bill Beaudine's Box Score," a nine-page typed list prepared by Beaudine of his directing credits from 1915 through 1969; two issues of "Film Follies" (the Christie Film Company house organ), five issues of the "Kalem Kalendar", and five "Biograph Bulletins" from 1912 and 1914. The collection was donated to AMPAS by William Beaudine Jr. and Lucille Beaudine Warden in February 1992.

He directed over half of the Bowery Boys films.

Beaudine worked almost exclusively on low-budget quickies, and rarely would shoot a scene a second time--even if there was a minor (or in some cases, not so minor) gaffe in the scene. Because of this, he earned the nickname "One-Shot" Beaudine.
