He also helped shoot such stars as John Wayne, Laurence Olivier and Tom Cruise and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1974 for his work on Lenny.
He followed in the footsteps of his father, Robert L. Surtees, also a cinematographer who won Academy Awards three times, for the films King Solomon's Mines, The Bad and the Beautiful and the 1959 version of Ben Hur.
