- Brother of director Otto Preminger, uncle of Erik Lee Preminger.
- As a literary agent, Preminger represented, among others, Dalton Trumbo and Ring Lardner Jr., who were both blacklisted during the Red Scare days of the 1950s. He worked effectively with blacklisted writers by using fronts and other writers who agreed to claim the work as their own, to help get past the studio restrictions.
- He was an attorney in Vienna, but fled the Nazis in 1938 and took his family to New York, where he bought a paint-supply business. They moved to Los Angeles in 1947, and he began a new career in show business.
- Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Producers Branch)
- Father of son Jim Preminger, daughters Eve Preminger and Katherine Kauff.
