Hackett, Albert

Hackett, Albert
▪ 1996

      U.S. screenwriter and playwright (b. Feb. 16, 1900, New York, N.Y.—d. March 16, 1995, New York), collaborated with his first wife, Frances Goodrich, on more than 30 screenplays, many of them comedies and musicals, before the couple won a Pulitzer Prize for drama for The Diary of Anne Frank, a moving adaptation of the best-selling book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. Their play opened on Broadway in 1955 and became an overnight sensation, and their screenplay was used for the 1959 film. Soon after the two were married in 1931, they moved to Hollywood. They made their debut as screenwriters with The Secret of Madame Blanche (1933) and followed that with such hits as The Thin Man (1934) and two of its five sequels, Lady in the Dark (1944), The Virginian and It's a Wonderful Life, both in 1946, Easter Parade (1948), In the Good Old Summertime (1949), Father of the Bride (1950), The Long, Long Trailer (1954), and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). Their last offering was in 1962.
