Leo McCarey: Born in Los Angeles in 1896, McCarey began his career as an assistant director and helming shorts. At this time, he was responsible for the first on-screen pairing of Laurel and Hardy.
Excelling in the comedy genre, he worked with stars from the Marx Brothers to W.C. Fields; Leo later focused on more socially-conscious material.
Nominated for eight Oscars, he won three - two for 1945’s Going My Way (Directing and Writing), and Best Director for 1938’s The Awful Truth. Leo McCarey died in 1969.
