<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 94464, member: 55"]Although known as a financier, Mr. Kahn appears to have had other interests; he is listed in IMDb as the producer of a number of movies in the 1930s, and as an actor in several prior to that.</p><p> He is also listed as costume designer for one film:</p><p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0434900/#costume_designer" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0434900/#costume_designer" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0434900/#costume_designer</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One might almost believe there were two different individuals by that name; but the IMDb bio lists the financier's dates of birth and death (1867-1934).
