1890 Fritz Lang – Vienna born Hollywood director (Metropolis, Ministry of Fear, M, The Big Heat)

Metropolis is credited as being the first sci-fi movie.







1901 Walter Elias Disney – Animation pioneer and founder of the Disney Empire.

Ge'd roll over in his grave if he saw his empire now.







1906 Otto Preminger – Austrian director (Porgy and Bess, Anatomy of a Murder, Exodus) He also played Mr. Freeze #2 in the Batman episodes Green Ice and Deep Freeze

I think he was the best ever Mr. Freeze even if I do have an autographed picture of Eli Wallach in the role.
