Historical Data	Jennings Lang was an American film producer, screenwriter, talent agent and actor.

Walter Wanger was an American film producer, starting with silent films in the twenties and working into the 1960s. He was married to actress Joan Bennett. In 1951, Wanger shot Lang in the groin, after seeing Lang and his wife together, believing they were having an affair. Lang recovered, Wanger pleaded insanity and served four months.
