- Leo Birinsky nació el 8 de junio de 1884 en Lysianka, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire [ahora Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine]. Murió el 23 de octubre de 1951 en Nueva York, Nueva York, EE.UU..
- He wrote in German and English. Until recently, only a minimal amount of information about his life has been available. Complicating matters, there have been many legends and rumors concerning Birinski's person, including the false report of his "suicide" in 1920 that found its way from newspaper obituaries into encyclopedias.
- Birinski spent his childhood in Ukraine and Czernowitz, the capital city of the Austro-Hungarian province of Bukovina.
- Leo Birinski went to the USA in 1927 where he was able to continue his career in the film business.
- Little information about his life is available from the USA: it appears that he moved to Hollywood around 1929. There is a note on a project for director Paul Leni, who was also in Hollywood. It mentioned that Birinski worked for Lewis Milestone, among others.
- A source shows that he wrote "Whitechapel" with Curt Siodmak, unclear whether this is an unpublished novel or a screenplay.
