Biography

Not to be confused with the actor or the cinematographer of the same name, producer David Lewis was born in Colorado and raised in Seattle. After a brief career as a performer, Lewis entered films as an MGM script reader in the early 1930s, graduating to the position of studio executive Irving Thalberg's personal assistant. After Thalberg's death in 1936, Lewis was hired by Hal B. Wallis as an associate producer at Warner Bros.; he was promoted to full producer in the mid-1940s. As a free-lancer, David Lewis handled production reins of such films as Arch of Triumph (1948), The End of the Affair (1955) and Raintree County (1958). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
