Film Director / Actor / Theatre Director | * 11/29/1895 († 80, 03/14/1976) | Los Angeles, California (United States of America (USA))
Berkeley William Enos, (November 29, 1895 – March 14, 1976) known professionally as Busby Berkeley, was an American film director and musical choreographer. Berkeley devised elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns. Berkeley's works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances. ()
