Biography:An American screenwriter (usually in collaboration), Tunberg has also produced some of his films. He began by supplying the plots for musicals featuring such stars as the "Ritz Brothers", "Betty Grable", "Sonja Henie", "Glenn Miller"'s orchestra, "Deanna Durbin", "Dorothy Lamour", and "Shirley Temple" (for whom he wrote a comedy called "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" which has nothing to do with the classic story of that title and which would have made a fine Temple vehicle.) Tunberg was also adept at costumers: "Kitty" (1945, in which "Paulette Goddard" rises from social outcast to society belle in 18th-century England), "The Scarlet Coat" (1955, about Benedict Arnold), "Libel" (1959), "Taras Bulba" (1962), and "Beau Brummel" (1954). In later years, Tunberg wrote some weak comedies for "Doris Day", "Jackie Gleason", and "Deborah Kerr". He has also shown a serious side; "Scandal at Scourie"... Full Biography
