Chodorov, Jerome

Chodorov, Jerome
▪ 2005

      American playwright (b. Aug. 10, 1911, New York, N.Y.—d. Sept. 12, Nyack, N.Y.), authored more than a dozen successful Broadway plays, most notably the comedy My Sister Eileen (1940) and its musical adaptation Wonderful Town (1953). Chodorov, who was blacklisted in the 1950s as a member of the Communist Party, saw his prospects in Hollywood vanish overnight. He continued to have mixed success on Broadway throughout the 1960s and '70s.
