For six decades, Sidney Sheldon spun yarns and stories to the delight of America. First as a screenwriter working in the studio system, then as the creator of popular TV series, and, finally, as an internationally-published best-selling novelist, Sheldon entertained the multitudes and masses. His credits ran from the Cary Grant/Shirley Temple breezy comedy "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer" (1947), for which he won an Oscar, to "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Hart to Hart" on TV to numerous novels. His stage credits included co-writing the Tony-winning libretto for Gwen Verdon's signature Broadway musical "Redhead" (1959).
