Director Born: January 30, 1920 in Lawrence, KS Death: November 11, 2007 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:The screen legacy of Oscar-winning writer-director Delbert Mann is inseparable from the movement in post-WWII American film that grew out of live television. One of the premier directors of network dramas in that medium's Golden Age, Mann frequently worked from scripts by the crème-de-la-crème of stage dramatists who adapted their narratives for the small screen under his aegis. With an adroit yet gentle and seemingly effortless hand, Mann thus brought the artistry of Paddy Chayefsky, William Inge, Eugene O'Neill, and many other top-tiered playwrights into millions of American homes. He then segued into cinema courtesy of a big screen adaptation of one of his television dramas, and -- with a film under his belt that snagged three of the most coveted awards in the film industry -- found his career in features permanently secured in a single defining instant.
