My grandfather.
He was a screenwriter in early Hollywood. Until he was blacklisted. Reason for blacklisting uncertain -- apparently he got angry at the wrong person -- in writing or in person -- not sure. (I remember that the person was WR Hearst -- but Ken [my brother] said he never heard that, so I might be blurring it with something else.)
He also published several sotries in the Saturday Evening Post.
