Walter Wanger - Biography - Moviefone |
 | | Walter Wanger was, from the early '30s until the mid-'50s, one of the top independent producers in Hollywood, with an array of movies to his credit that included some of the most highly regarded works of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Fritz Lang, and, later on, Don Siegel. |
 | | Wanger was born Walter Feuchtwanger in San Francisco, CA, in 1894, the third of four children of Sigmund Feuchtwanger, a Bavarian Jewish immigrant and successful seller of clothing, and the former Stella Stettheimer, the eldest of four daughters from a highly educated German American family from Rochester, NY. |
 | | Wanger's father died of heart failure in 1905, at age 50, and the boy was uprooted soon after, his mother choosing to move to Europe for a time as she put her life and her family back together. |
