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

fiction and nonfiction books, including the popular Tracy and Hepburn
