Jack Foley

Jack Donovan Foley was the developer of many sound effect techniques used in film making. He worked on the pictures such as *Melody of Love*, *Show Boat* (1929), *Dat Ol' Ribber*, *Spartacus*, and *Pink Submarine*. He is attributed with inventing the art of Foley, which is the process of adding sound effects such as footsteps and environmental sounds to films. His crucial founding role in the development of Foley is documented in the 2009 book *The Foley Grail*.
