Round 1: Tossup 19

This person inspired the stage name of a 2-meter-tall Italian actor who played the Minotaur in Fellini Satyricon and a cannibal serial killer in Joe D’Amato’s video nasty Anthropophagus. This is the only person to be honored by two stars in the Film category of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Chronic pain due to a spinal disorder led to this person writing the note “my work is done; why wait?” before his 1932 suicide (15[1])at age 77. In 2015, William Kentridge donated his entire oeuvre to a museum named for this person that owns the only print of Stanley Kubrick’s debut, Fear and Desire; that museum is called his namesake (*) “house.” This businessman’s company tried to establish a monopoly as a supplier of raw material for the Motion Picture Patents trust. This businessman used the slogan “you press the button, we do the rest” to advertise his Rochester-based company, which created Super 8 film and the Brownie camera. For 10 points, name this founder of Kodak. ■END■
