Dorothy Graffe Van Doren (May 2, 1896 – February 21, 1993) was an American writer and editor.
Life and career [ edit ]
Dorothy Graffe was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California, and grew up in New York, the daughter of Frances Rosette (Lane) and George Graffe, a newsman.[1] [2] She graduated from Barnard College in 1918.[3] In 1920, while she was an assistant at The Nation magazine, she met Mark Van Doren .[4] They were married in 1922.[5] He went on to a distinguished career as a teacher, critic and prolific author of fiction, nonfiction and poetry, for which he received the Pulitzer Prize . She wrote novels, and later turned to writing humorous autobiographical works about life with her husband and family.[1] [4]
Dorothy Van Doren was an editor at The Nation magazine for many years.[1] During World War II she was chief editor of the English Feature Desk at the United States Office of War Information , which was responsible for presenting a human and appealing image of American life through the international broadcasts of the Voice of America , directed by John Houseman . Regular writers included Louis Untermeyer , Robert Ardrey , Tom Whiteside , Henry Denker , Jerome Weidman and Howard Fast ; outside contributors included Norman Corwin , Janet Flanner , Woody Guthrie , John Hersey , Carson McCullers , Archibald MacLeish , Paul Robeson and John Steinbeck . Features, editorials, essays, songs and interviews were recorded and adapted for various English-language broadcasts before being translated and used in foreign-language programming.[6]
The Van Dorens' elder son Charles Van Doren became a celebrity in 1957 after a series of appearances on the television game show Twenty-One .[5] In the 1994 film Quiz Show , which dramatized the 1950s quiz show scandals , Dorothy Van Doren was portrayed by actress Elizabeth Wilson . In July 2010, Charles Van Doren read from his mother's works and discussed her writing and life in a presentation at the University of Connecticut at Torrington.[7]
