Producer Born: July 11, 1894 in San Francisco, CA Death: November 18, 1968 Biography:Walter Wanger was, from the early '30s until the mid-'50s, one of the top independent producers in Hollywood, with an array of movies to his credit that included some of the most highly regarded works of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Fritz Lang, and, later on, Don Siegel. For a time, he rivaled Samuel Goldwyn and David O. Selznick, and was regarded as possessing a golden touch akin to that of Darryl F. Zanuck at 20th Century Fox. Wanger was also unique, among his generation of moguls and would-be moguls of Hollywood, as the product of a highly educated, erudite, and cultured upbringing, as well as being American-born. If most of the studio founders and chiefs entered the movie business, in part, because as immigrants they were squeezed out of most other areas of opportunity in entertainment, Wanger chose the movies for his career and life's work.
