Otto Preminger
Otto Ludwig Preminger ( , ; 5 December 1905 – 23 April 1986) was an Austrian-American theatre and film director, film producer, and actor. He directed more than 35 feature films in a five-decade career after leaving the theatre.

Several of these later films pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with themes which were then taboo in Hollywood, such as drug addiction ('' The Man with the Golden Arm'', 1955), rape ('' Anatomy of a Murder'', 1959) and homosexuality ('' Advise & Consent'', 1962). He was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director. He also had several acting roles.
