Diamond" was not born with this moniker, but chose it for himself while working on the campus newspaper at Columbia University.

Born in Romania, "Diamond" was raised in Brooklyn, where he gained attention early on for his stellar academic achievements. Upon finishing his college education, "Diamond" headed for Hollywood, where he worked in collaboration on several "B"-picture screenplays before his "A" break with the "Errol Flynn" vehicle "Never Say Goodbye" (1946). During his 20th Century-Fox years, "Diamond" specialized in comedy, working on the mirth-provoking scripts of such films as "Love Nest" (1951), "Monkey Business" (1952) and "Something for the Birds" (1952).
