The New York Times on a film director who reportedly died today —
"Mr. Hiller was born on Nov. 13, 1923, in Edmonton, Alberta,
one of three children of Harry Hiller and the former Rose Garfin,
Jewish immigrants from Poland. His father ran a secondhand
musical instrument store in Edmonton.
His first contact with show business came through his parents,
who formed a community theater in Edmonton to present plays
in Yiddish. He helped his parents build and paint sets, and made
his acting debut at age 11."
