Born on a warm summer day, July 24, 1919, in the vibrant city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Leo Orenstein embarked on a remarkable journey that would span nearly a century. As a talented producer and director, he left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, with notable credits including the 1952 film "Encounter", the 1961 television series "Playdate", and the 1960 festival-themed production "Festival".
Leo's personal life was just as fascinating as his professional endeavors. He was twice married, first to the lovely Lucille Kallen, and then to the charming Yukie Kadoguchi. Despite the ups and downs of life, Leo's spirit remained strong, and he continued to thrive until his passing on February 5, 2009, in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
