Fayte M. Browne (1896-1952) was an American cinematographer who worked in Hollywood—primarily at Columbia Pictures—from the 1930s through the 1950s.[1] [2] [3]
Fayte was born in Salem, Oregon, to C.F. William Browne and Sarah Belle Snyder. He married Anna Marie Bernegg in Stockton, California, and the pair had three children.[4]
He began working as a camera operator at Columbia in the early 1930s, but it wasn't until the late 1940s that he began getting regular work as a cinematographer. He shot almost 40 films between 1949 and 1952, the year he died in Los Angeles, California.
Aside from his career, Browne enjoyed racing miniature cars.
