Nicholas Musuraca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Italian-born cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca (Riace Italy October 25, 1892 - Los Angeles September 3, 1975) began his film career as the chauffeur for silent-movie producer J. Stuart Blackton. He worked behind the scenes on numerous silent and B-movie action films before becoming one of RKO Pictures' prime directors of photography in the 1930s.
While working regularly at RKO, he was nominated for a 1947 Academy Award for his work on I Remember Mama. After working briefly at Warner Bros. in the late 1950s, Musuraca returned to RKO, then renamed Desilu, where he spent his last active years in TV work including the television series F Troop. He collaborated with director Jacques Tourneur on Cat People (1942), I Walked with a Zombie (1943) and Out of the Past (1947).
