Henry Koster(1905-1988)

He discovered Bud Abbott and Lou Costello working at a nightclub in New York. He returned to Hollywood and convinced Universal to hire them. Their first picture, which featured the "Who's on First" routine, was Noche en el trópico (1940). The female lead in that picture was Peggy Moran, who would later marry Koster. At the time they did not know each other.

[on Richard Burton] If he didn't get perfection he got mad at himself, no one else . . . The world lost one of the greatest actors of our time when he died.
