2 Films by Kenneth Anger.

Kenneth Anger was born in Santa Monica, California as Kenneth Wilbur Angelmyer[1] and attended the Maurice Kossloff Dancing School with Shirley Temple and Judy Garland. He gained fame and notoriety from the publication of the French version of Hollywood Babylon in Paris in 1959, a tell-all book of the scandals of Hollywood's rich and famous. A pirated (and incomplete) version was first published in the U.S. in 1965. The official U.S. version was not published until 1974.

He became fascinated with the supernatural and Aleister Crowley, as well as becoming an adherent of Crowley's religion of Thelema, sometime in his late teens. Many of his films reflect occult themes.
