Larry Auerbach
One of the most prolific and respected TV directors; best known for his work on soap operas, especially "Love of Life" for 28 years -- via Yahoo News. It is estimated that he directed more dramatic work on TV than any person in history -- 3,000 hours is one ballpark figure. He started in radio, stage-managed for such iconic early TV shows as "Stud's Place" and "Kukla, Fran, & Ollie"; he directed "Zoo Parade," the show that developed into "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom." He was the first director on "Mr. Wizard," the science education show.
