Radio: Wrote several radio plays for Orson Welles, including the 1938 adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" that caused many listeners who missed part of the broadcast to think that the Martian invasion was real (as depicted in The Night That Panicked America (1975)). His copy of the script was auctioned in 1988 for $135,000.
I feel I have been more fortunate than many screenwriters, having worked with directors of the caliber of Ophuls, Wyler, Welles, Huston, Hawks. More has been added to my scripts than subtracted.
