Fred Ott was one of Thomas Edison's laboratory team working on the Kinetoscope as well as the Phonograph and other projects.
The ebullient Fred Ott was the joker among them, and when the Inventor was approached by journalist Burton Phillips of Harper's Weekly requesting 'some nice looking person' to perform a sneeze for the Kinetograph that might be used to illustrate an article, the moustachioed Ott was the unlikely but willing choice.
The film, or rather the image of Fred Ott's sneeze, became famous, and in later years Ott was happy to claim that he was the first ever 'film star', which in a way was true.

The exceptions are the main title, which is based roughly on Baskerville Old Face, and the handwritten parts which are, well, my handwriting.
