The Resume

    (February 3, 1927-May 11, 2023)
    Born in Santa Monica, California
    Directed 'Who Has Been Rocking My Dream Boat? (1941),' 'Fireworks (1947),' 'Rabbit's Moon (1950),' 'Eaux d'artifice (1953)' and 'Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954)'
    Wrote the 'Hollywood Babylon' books

Why he might be annoying:

    His stage name was given to him when he was 5 years old.
    He has a tattoo of the name 'Lucifer' on his chest.
    He mainly filmed his movies in France, because his violent, homosexual-themed work was too strong for American audiences.
    In his film, 'Eaux D'Artifice,' he dressed a circus dwarf in a Marie Antoinette evening gown and had him run aimlessly around the Tivoli Fountains.
    When he was 17 years old, he shot the homo-erotic footage to 'Fireworks' while his parents were away.
    His Hollywood Babylon books, although entertaining, is exagerated.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is a pioneer of the American underground film movement.
    He depicts Hollywood in his books 'Hollywood Babylon.'
    He pioneered the music video with 'Rabbit's Moon (1950).'
