Ernst Lubitsch - 1892 DEU

Ernst Lubitsch (born January 29, 1892, in Berlin – died November 30, 1947, in Los Angeles) was a German-born film director and actor who became a U.S. citizen. After early success in Germany, he moved to Hollywood in the 1920s. He became famous for his refined, elegant comedies, known as the "Lubitsch Touch." Shortly before his death, he received an honorary Oscar for his life's work.
