Stanley Kramer Dead At 87
20 February 2001 | From Studio Briefing | See recent Studio Briefing news
Producer-director Stanley Kramer, whose films included Member of the Wedding, The Wild One, The Caine Mutiny, The Defiant Ones, On the Beach, Inherit the Wind, and Judgment at Nuremberg, has died in Woodland Hills, CA following a bout with pneumonia at the age of 87. In 1959, after Hal Smith and Nathan Douglas, the writers of The Defiant Ones, were nominated for Academy Awards, Kramer became the first major Hollywood producer to acknowledge that he had hired blacklisted writers. (Douglas was in reality Nedrick Young, a former actor who had turned to screenwriting under an assumed name after he was blacklisted.) The pair went on to win the Oscar for best original screenplay that year.
