Ethan Coen Resources
Joel and Ethan Coen, commonly called The Coen Brothers in the film business, are United States directors best known for their quirky comedies like Fargo
and Raising Arizona; the brothers write their own scripts and alternate top billing for the screenplay. Joel gets credit for directing the films, but the two brothers work so closely together and share such a strong vision of what their film is to be that actors report that they can approach either brother with a question and get the same answer. The brothers are known in the film business as "the two-headed director."
Joel Coen was born November 29 1954, and has been married to actress Frances McDormand since 1984; they have an adopted baby named Pedro.
Ethan Coen was born September 21 1957, and is married to film editor Tricia Cooke. Both are frequently credited in their own films as editor under the name "Roderick Jaynes." The Coen Brothers grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Their parents were both professors, with their father's specialty in Economics, and their mother's in Art History.
