Biography

Yale Law School graduate Charles Schnee forsook a burgeoning legal career in 1946 to become a Hollywood screenwriter. Schnee spent most of his subsequent career as both writer and producer (Torch Song, The Prodigal, Somebody up There Likes Me) at MGM, with only occasional forays away from the studio for such projects as Red River (1948). He won an Academy Award for his scriptwork on The Bad and the Beautiful (1952), and just before his death penned that film's unofficial sequel, Two Weeks in Another Town (1962). For reasons unknown, Charles Schnee signed his script for By Love Possessed (1961) pseudonymously as John Dennis. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
