The Broadway and Hollywood director and screenwriter is shown in a
bow tie.
Photograph signed: "Garson Kanin". B/w, 8x10. Garson Kanin
(1912-1999), a Broadway 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). Lightly creased. Slightly
worn at edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
