Brass star, commemorating, Cecil Blount DeMille, American film director, producer, actor, silent, sound films, founding father, American cinema, film.
I found this on a walk in the City of Plymouth. it is from a time which is well and trully gone but the famous names still live on. Please see the rest of the photographs I was lucky enough to take at the same time. Director, Producer, Editor, Writer, even Actor: one of the silver screen's greatest talents. Though throughout his multi-faceted he made an invaluable contribution to movie making, DeMille came up relatively short at the Academy Awards. Though three of his films were nominated for Best Picture of the year (CLEOPATRA (1934), THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (which won in 1952), and THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956)), he received only one personal nomination-- that for Best Director of THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH-- and was passed over for John Ford and THE QUIET MAN.
