Leonard Anderson was an American film editor and film director, and he co-owned a film production company.
Anderson's short films of African-American musical acts include footage of Anna Mae Winburn with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm,[1] Lucky Millinder and his orchestra,[2] and Henri Woode.
Around late 1948, he founded the Video Varieties Corp., a film production company with George Goman, which was a predecessor to the West Coast Sound Studios.[3][4] In late 1948, Anderson directed a series of short films for the band the Adrian Rollini Trio (Adrian Rollini, George Hnida, and Allan Hanlon).[5] He edited the popular television show The Honeymooners in the 1950s.[6]
