Oscar Apfel was credited as co-director of The Squaw Man (1914) with Cecil B DeMille. Oscar was born in Cleveland and had 119 director credits from a 1911 short to 1927. He also had 176 acting credits, from a 1913 short to a 1939 short.

The Lasky name on the publicity still above is Jesse L Lasky, Hollywood's first movie mogul. As a producer, he had 136 credits, from this, to 1951. His penultimate producer credit is also an honorable mention - Rhapsody in Blue, as is his Redskin. His entries among my best 1,001 movies are Applause, The Gay Desperado, and Sergeant York.
