Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg was primarily known as a poet and a leading figure of the Beat Generation rather than an actor or director. His most famous work, the poem "Howl," is celebrated for its raw and honest depiction of disillusionment with societal norms. Ginsberg's influence extended into various forms of media, and he appeared in a few documentaries and experimental films, often as himself, discussing literary and cultural themes. While he was not an actor or director, his cultural and social activism left a significant mark on American literature and counterculture.
