He made his stage debut as an actor in 1930 but went to Hollywood in 1932 to become a screenwriter. By 1940 he had written 46 screenplays and became an executive producer. In 1948 he was made vice-president of production for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios, a position he held until 1956, when he was dismissed and became an independent producer.

He received an Oscar from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the screenplay of Boy's Town (1938), and in 1970 he was appointed New York City's first commissioner of cultural affairs.
