Occupation(s ) Screenwriter , film director , producer
Kenneth Casey Robinson (October 17, 1903 – December 6, 1979) was an American producer and director of mostly B movies and a screenwriter responsible for some of Bette Davis ' most revered films. Film critic Richard Corliss once described him as "the master of the art – or craft – of adaptation."[1]
Early life and Hollywood career [ edit ]
Born in Logan, Utah , the son of a Brigham Young College (Logan, UT)[2] music/drama instructor, Robinson graduated from Cornell University at the age of 19 and briefly taught English before turning to journalism.[1]
In 1927, he began his Hollywood career writing the titles for silent movies .[3] He graduated to directing in the early 1930s, but after six films he abandoned that field in order to concentrate on writing. The films with Davis included It's Love I'm After , Dark Victory , The Old Maid , All This, and Heaven Too , Now, Voyager , and The Corn Is Green .
Robinson's production credits include Days of Glory , Under My Skin , and Two Flags West , all of which he scripted as well.[4] He also worked on three weeks of re-writes for Casablanca , but was uncredited.[5] In 1935, Robinson was a write-in candidate for what was then called the Academy Award for Best Writing, Screenplay for his work on Captain Blood .[6]
After spending the better part of the 1930s and the early 1940s working at Warner Bros. , Robinson moved to MGM in the mid-'40s, then to 20th Century Fox in the 1950s.[3] He retired in 1962 and eventually emigrated to Sydney, Australia (his wife was Australian). While in Sydney he came out of retirement to write and produce Scobie Malone , in 1975.[7] [8]
His second wife was prima ballerina Tamara Toumanova ; they were wed from 1944 until their divorce in 1955. The union was childless. He died in Sydney , Australia in 1979, aged 76.[9]
