actor in the 1930s, moved to Hollywood in 1938, directing screwball comedies
featuring stars like Irene Dunne, Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant. Even bigger
successes arrived when he began writing screenplays with his longtime wife,
actress Ruth Gordon (d. 1985). He notched Oscar nominations for A Double
Life (1947) and for the Tracy-Hepburn classics Adam's Rib (1950) and
Pat and Mike (1952). He also wrote classic films for Judy Holliday,
including Born Yesterday (1949). Although he wrote and directed a
few more films through 1969, Kanin refocused his talents on the Broadway stage,
earning three Tony nominations while directing such plays as The Diary of
Anne Frank (1955) and Funny Girl (1964). Kanin also wrote
numerous fiction and nonfiction books, including the popular Tracy and
Hepburn (1971). Fine condition.
