PLSN: Imero “Immie” Fiorentino, a pioneering LD in the early days of television who worked for ABC before founding Imero Fiorentino Associates (IFA) in 1960, died Oct. 1. He was 85. In a career that extended from student theatrical productions in the 1930s and 1940s to the dawn of television in 1950, then on toward major productions including political conventions and Presidential debates involving every U.S. President since Eisenhower, Fiorentino's success came despite a high school injury that left him blind in one eye.

It is amazing that a man that had such an illustrious career could go so unnoticed into that dark night so easily. The list of accomplishments and big gigs that this guy had were impressive but no layperson knew him from Adam. Maybe this puts into perspective the fact that what you do for a living does not need to define you as a person.
