Biography

The son of veteran film executive James A. Grainger, Edmund Grainger inaugurated his own movie career on the sales staff of Fox Studios. In 1931, Grainger was promoted to producer at Fox, turning out such product as The Holy Terror (1931); he then moved to Universal, where he produced the money-spinning Diamond Jim (1935)--unfortunately followed by the disastrous Sutter's Gold (1935). He worked briefly at Warner Bros. before entering into a long and lucrative association with actor John Wayne, first at Republic and then at RKO (coincidentally, Grainger's father had previously served as president of both studios). Edmund Grainger ended his career with such expensive MGM efforts as Home From the Hill (1960) and Cimarron (1961). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
