Among those receiving special attention here include the likes of Fritz Lang, Ernst Lubitsch, and Billy Wilder as well as later stars who escaped (or not) the ravages of World War II, people such as Hedy Lamarr, Audrey Hepburn, and Leslie Caron. Jared Day, taught American history at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh for sixteen years.

He is the author of several books along with numerous other popular and peer-reviewed articles.
