Biography

Erich Von Stroheim (born Erich Oswald Stroheim in Vienna, September 22, 1885 – May 12, 1957) was an Austrian film director, actor, and producer. He was the epitome of the prima donna director as the perfectionist. He was noted for being fastidious to levels not seen till Michael Cimino made Heaven's Gate, insisting on strict period detail (at great expense to the studio). He was also known to be a major misogynist, proclaiming during a fight with Louis Mayer that all women were whores. Stroheim's bold commitment to his art and his uncompromising demeanor made him opposed to the rising Hollywood Studio System. Stroheim's films were amazing and shocking at the time for the bold sexual content, the pessimistic portrayal of relationships, lack of Narm Charm, and unsentimental naturalistic performances, which greatly improved upon the expressionistic over-the-top acting in silent films. His Greed pioneered location shooting and deep focus years before Citizen Kane.
