Ray Etheridge

Ray Etheridge was born on May 08, 1952 in USA. Ray Etheridge's big-screen debut came with When the Applause Died directed by Nick Bougas in 1990.

Ray Etheridge was born in Los Angeles. While in the sixth grade his parents moved to a small rural town in Oregon, where they had purchased an old "General Store". Ray earned money by helping neighbors with farm chores, and at age 14 he had saved enough money to open a 16mm mini-theatre in a room above the store, complete with a projection booth and "real" theatre seats. His mother bought him his first movie camera, an 8mm from Sears, and while still in high school, Ray bought a 16mm Bolex camera. He attended the University of Oregon for a year, and later graduated from the Southern California Film Institute. Some of his early jobs in the film industry were in sales and distribution for such companies as Universal Pictures, Cinema National, and Filmtreat International.
