D.W. GRIFFITH

D.W. Griffith was one of the most famous directors of all time from the 1900s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl, Judith of Bethulia, and The Birth of a Nation (the movie he is best remembered for, but which is extremely controversial today, because of its depiction of post-Civil-War-era black African Americans). He passed away in 1948 at the age of 73.
