Re: [Cz-L] Preminger

Google is your friend on this one:

----from Wikipedia-------
Otto Ludwig Preminger (December 5, 1906 – April 23, 1986) was an
Austrian actor and twice Oscar-nominated film director.

Preminger was born in Czernowitz to a well-known family. Preminger's
father Marc was once the Attorney General of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. As their father, both Otto and his brother, Ingo Preminger,
earned law degrees in Vienna.

Preminger worked with Max Reinhardt before emigrating to America. At
first he directed and acted for 20th Century Fox. His Austrian accent
caused him to be typecast as a cinematic Nazi, despite the fact that
he was a Jew who had left Austria in 1935, three years before Austria
merged with Nazi Germany in the Anschluss.
