Biography | show moreshow less
John Patrick, born on May 17, 1905, in Louisville, Kentucky, was an accomplished American playwright and screenwriter. Over the course of his prolific career, Patrick left an indelible mark on the American theater and film industry with his keen insights into human nature and his deft, dramatic touch.

One of his most notable achievements came in 1954 with "The Teahouse of the August Moon." This critically acclaimed play won Patrick the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was subsequently adapted into a successful film and a Broadway musical. The story, set in post-WWII Okinawa, skillfully balances humor with deeper commentaries on cultural clashes and American military occupation.

In addition to his work in the theater, Patrick had a successful run in Hollywood. His adaptation of "Three Coins in the Fountain" earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay in 1954.

Another significant contribution came with his 1956 adaptation of "The Curious Savage," a play that continues to be popular in community and regional theaters for its heartwarming and humorous portrayal of humanity. His legacy is cemented by the numerous awards he received and the lasting impact of his plays and screenplays.
