Stephen Frears, né le 20 juin 1941 à Leicester (Midlands de l'Est), est un réalisateur et producteur anglais. Après avoir signé plusieurs drames sociaux anglais durant les années 1980, il s'impose en 1988 avec la comédie de mœurs en costumes Les Liaisons dangereuses. Le réalisateur confirme sa francophilie quelques années plus tard en signant Dirty Pretty Things (2002), avec l'actrice Audrey Tautou, puis en tournant en France un nouveau film en costumes, Chéri (2009), avec Michelle Pfeiffer. Mais durant les années 2000, il réalise surtout plusieurs films aux États-Unis - dont Mary Reilly (1998) et High Fidelity (2000). À partir de la fin des années 2000, il se consacre, avec succès, à des biopics de femmes plus ou moins connues : Madame Henderson présente (2005), Tamara Drewe (2010), Philomena (2014), Florence Foster Jenkins (2015). Il signe aussi deux explorations de la monarchie britannique : le multirécompensé The Queen (2006) et Confident Royal (2017). Par la diversité des genres qu'il aborde et ses accents audacieux voire provocateurs, Stephen Frears est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands cinéastes internationaux. Il a eu la chance de diriger plusieurs grandes stars dont il a su tirer le meilleur (Hoffman, Streep, Roberts, Malkovitch, Close, Pfeiffer, Mirren, Huston, Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Kathy Bates, Gary Oldman...).
