After the war he moved to Hollywood with the intention of working in film publicity, but a studio strike led him into script writing. He was associated with Buddy Rogers' Comet Productions and Ralph Cohn of Columbia Pictures. He was one of the four credited writers on The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953). His film writing credits include 13 motion pictures between 1946 and 1958.

Famous quotes containing the words early, life and/or career:
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I wage not any feud with Death
For changes wrought on form and face;
No lower life that earth’s embrace
May breed with him can fright my faith.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
