Kenneth Anglemyer was born in Santa Monica in 1927, the son of an aviation engineer. He claims to have appeared as a child in a Shakespeare adaptation shot in Hollywood, made a first film on 16 mm as a child, and just after the war made a homosexual short film whose screening led to an exhibitor's conviction for obscenity, overturned on appeal. He lived in Paris in the fifties and published there, in French, a scandalous book on Hollywood. He made only short films and died in California, at Yucca Valley, in 2023.
