Kenneth Anger, a child actor by early beginnings, nurtured a profound fascination with filmmaking from a tender age. At just 14, he created his inaugural film, "Who Has Been Rocking My Dreamboat," a testament to his innate talent and dedication to the craft.
As Anger matured, he emerged as a pioneering figure in the American underground film movement. His films, often characterized by their gritty, violent, and homosexual themes, were deemed too provocative for the sensitive American audiences of the time. Consequently, many of his productions were filmed in Europe, primarily in France.
Despite his significant contributions to the world of underground cinema, Anger is most notably recognized for authoring the influential "Hollywood Babylon" book series. This groundbreaking work exposed a scandalous underbelly of the Hollywood film industry, revealing secrets and scandals that few were privy to.
