Did you know
- TriviaAdo Kyrou wrote that Schoedsack met Ruth Rose in the Brazilian jungle of Amazonia, when they were conducting separate exploration projects ("Amour Erotisme et Cinema", Le Terrain vague, Paris; page 239). The truth is that in 1925, they were engaged respectively as cameraman and historian by the Cooper-Schoedsack Productions (with Merian C. Cooper, who was director of the department of tropical research of the New York Zoological Society from 1919) to film the exotic the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) with a linear narrative, as Schoedsack had done in Persia and Siam. Theirs was a case of love at first sight; they married in 1926.
