Elmer C.A. Berger (1891-1952) was an inventor in the early 1900s credited for invention of the rear-view mirror, although racing enthusiast Ray Harroun experimented with them as early as 1911. He is now buried in Hollywood Forever, a park in Hollywood, California, near the lake and the burial site of film director John Huston.
