David Soren (archaeologist)

He began his career in the entertainment business at the age of eight, and a year later was the youngest cast member of CBS television's The Horn and Hardart Children's Hour.

During this time he directed archaeological investigations for the Smithsonian Institution at Utica, Thuburbo Majus and El Djem in Tunisia.

Soren discovered the largest cold water ancient spring and sanctuary in Italy, near Chiusi in the Tuscan town of Chianciano Terme.

The ancient spring he found was still flowing and the water contained large amounts of calcium sulfate which functions as a strong laxative.

Soren has also written numerous books on film, including biographies of director Dorothy Arzner, dancer Vera-Ellen, and Belgian filmmaker Harry Kumel.
