Flo Ziegeld, American impresario, was born 150 years ago today, on 21-March-1867. He didn't have much direct involvement with movies, but he had a lot of influence on American entertainment.

The early talkie Glorifying the American Girl was made "Under the Personal Supervision" Flo Ziegfeld.

Ziegfeld was listed as producer of Rio Rita and Whoopee, which were adaptions of big stage musicals that he had produced. 

I remember in the late 1970s or early 1980s when Whoopee got restored and had a big premiere on television.
