Biography

Staub has never let Hollywood down. He has demonstrated by his own success that the best news about Hollywood is good news. In his entire film file there is not a foot of negative devoted to scandal. His concern is to bring to the millions of moviegoers the opportunity to be on a friendly basis with the people who make up the glamour legend of motion pictures.

He has shown the stars in their homes, with their families, going about the daily business of living. He knows them as few people in the motion picture industry know them. To borrow a phrase from a screen magazine's well-read department, "He was there." He was there to photograph Doug Fairbanks, Sr., after a day on the set of "The Iron Mask." He was there when Carole Lombard took off on a bond-selling mission from which she never returned. He was there when Al Jolson put his knee prints in the cement in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese. He has covered Hollywood's weddings, its christenings, its community activities.

As Producer/Director/Cameraman of "Screen Snapshots" fame, he has operated on the theory that people everywhere consider Hollywood a part of their own lives - that they look upon Hollywood as America's own - a city to point to with pride, to gossip about endlessly, and to become part of their own dream of success. Staub has made over 777 short subjects and has been three times nominated for Academy Awards, all this adding up to a considerable accomplishment for a man who loves his home town.
