High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! B. Reeves Eason (October 2, 1886 – June 9, 1956) was an American film director, actor and screenwriter. His directorial output was limited mainly to low-budget westerns and action pictures, but it was as a second-unit director and action specialist that he was best known. He was famous for staging spectacular battle scenes in war films and action scenes in large-budget westerns, but he acquired the nickname "Breezy" for his "breezy" attitude towards safety while staging his sequences--during the famous cavalry charge at the end of Charge of the Light Brigade (1936) that Eason directed, so many horses were killed or injured so severely that they had to be put down that both the public and Hollywood itself were outraged, and the result was that the American Humane Society was selected by the studios to have a representative on the set of all films using animals to ensure their safety.
