Trivia
One of his best-known screenwriting credits was for "Brannigan", starring John Wayne, one of Hollywood's most right-wing actors, who had been among the arch-enemies of his father, Dalton Trumbo, a sometime communist, and had even once said that he was proud of having helped get Trumbo blacklisted.
