Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

They call writers over 40 in Hollywood 'grays' now. And Al--who worked for the Benny show, and went to the Carol Burnett show, the Smothers Brothers--goes to interview with the producer. And the guy likes him. But he says 'Gee, Al, I'd like to hire you, but I've got one gray on the staff already.' Can you believe it? A guy with all these great credits. See more »

Trivia:

He lived the first seven years on a farm outside Akron, Ohio. At the beginning of the Great Depression in 1930, his parent moved to the Bronx in New York City where he moved six times and attended five elementary schools. He joined the military while a student at Theodore Roosevelt High School and never graduated. See more »
