Albert Hackett

Highest Rated: 100% Whoopee! (1930)

Lowest Rated: 54% Father of the Bride Part II (1995)

Birthday: Feb 16, 1900

Birthplace: New York, New York, USA

This celebrated American screenwriter wrote such classics features as "The Thin Man" (1934), "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) and "Father of the Bride (1950) as well as the play and screen versions of "The Diary of Anne Frank" with his wife Frances Goodrich. Their collaboration resulted in four Academy Award nominations and a Pulitzer Prize and earned the pair a place as one of the top husband-and-wife writing teams in cinema. The prolific pair turned out witty, sophisticated screwball comedy as easily as musicals and films that on the surface may have seemed charged with mere sentiment but which delved deep into characters.
