(Edward Ludvich Bernds)
Died

One year before he died, Mr. Bernds published his autobiography, "Mr. Bernds Goes to Hollywood," the title a take on Frank Capra's MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN, on which Bernds served as Sound Engineer. The book covered his life up to 1945, including his years as one of Hollywood's best sound engineers. With only a couple exceptions, Ed was the sound engineer for Frank Capra's Columbia film classics (YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, more), always at Capra's specific request.
