It's the birthday of Italian film director Federico Fellini

It's the birthday of Italian film director Federico Fellini, born in Rimini, Italy (1920). He became famous for his film La Dolce Vita (1960). He was a charming man who always wore a wide-brimmed black hat and gestured with both hands, even while driving one of his favorite motorcars. He overdubbed all his actors' voices because he believed that most people didn't have voices that matched their appearance. He said, "All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography." Writer's Almanac
