[OGD] Famous People and Orchids
The movie Producer I was trying to think of was Arthur Freed (1894-1973). He was Producer/Songwriter/Composer. One of the most notable movies he was Associate Producer for was The Wizard of Oz. He was responsible for such movies as Show Boat, Brigadoon, An American in Paris and Gigi to name a few. Freed's masterpiece was that enduring gem Singin' in the Rain in 1952. He left MGM in 1961 just when the adaptation of Broadway musicals was taking over from Freed's brand of movie musical. He served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences from 1963-1966. He was reknowned for his prolific Phalaenopsis breeding and used the naming style Phal.

[OGD] Arthur Freed
Colin who wrote: The movie Producer I was trying to think of was Arthur Freed (1894-1973). He was reknowned for his prolific Phalaenopsis breeding and used the naming style Phal. Freed's X Correct, but I believe the general manager and actual breeder of Phalaenopsis for Arthur Freed Orchids Inc. was not Arthur Freed, but his brother Hugo Freed, who is the author of New Horizons in Orchid Breeding, 1979.
