It is the birthday of writer and television producer Budd Schulberg (1914), who is remembered for his novels What Make Sammy Run? (1941) and The Harder They Fall (1947), his Oscar-winning screenplay On the Waterfront (1954) and his screenplay A Face in the Crowd (1957). His father was a Hollywood producer and his mother was a talent agent. What Makes Sammy Run? depicts the harsh reality of stardom in Hollywood. With his brother Stuart, Schulberg co-produced his film Wind Across the Everglades (1958). It was directed by Nicholas Ray.
