American writer (1912–2009)
Theodore Strauss (December 27, 1912 – October 30, 2009) was an American writer.
Biography
[ edit ]
Strauss was born in Oklahoma on December 27, 1912.[1] [2] He worked in circulation at The New York Times in the 1930s.[3]
His novel Night at Hogwallow (Little, Brown & Co.,1937) was received positively by The New York Times .[4] Later he became the paper's "second-string film critic" (after Bosley Crowther ).[5] In 1944, he left The New York Times to work as a screenwriter at Paramount .[5] [6]
Strauss was known for his novel Moonrise (Viking, 1946).[7] [8] It was first published serially in a magazine and then adapted for the 1948 film of the same name .[9] [10]
He worked for Life magazine and in 1956 was named editor of Woman's Home Companion .[11] [12] [5] He was also editorial director of Crowell-Collier .[5] [13] In 1957, he returned to the film industry in the eastern story department of 20th Century-Fox .[14] [15] Robert Goldstein named him executive story editor at Fox in 1960.[16]
From the 1960s–1980s, he was known for television documentaries.[17] [18] Strauss and Terry Sanders won a Writers Guild of America Award for the film The Legend of Marilyn Monroe (1966).[19] He was nominated for an Emmy for I Will Fight No More Forever (1975) and he won an Emmy for America Salutes Richard Rodgers: The Sound of His Music (1976).[20] [21]
Strauss narrated the first hour of Jacques Cousteau: Cries from the Deep (1982). A Variety review said it was "dismally narrated" and elaborated that his "high-toned verbiage" spoiled the trip for viewers.[22]
A Variety review of his 1986 effort, Clue: Movies, Murder & Mystery , was critical: "Writer Theodore Strauss throws in so many subjects involved in fictional murder that the viewer is left wondering what the mystery is all about".[23]
