## Biography

Daniel Fuchs (25 June 1909 – 26 July 1993) was an American screenwriter, novelist and essayist. Born to a Jewish family on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, he moved with his family to Williamsburg, Brooklyn as an infant. He published three early novels with Vanguard Press: *Summer in Williamsburg* (1934), *Homage to Blenholt* (1936) and *Low Company* (1937). He also contributed short stories and essays, many to *The New Yorker*.

At the age of 26 he moved to Los Angeles to work in films. His screenplays include *Criss Cross* (1949), *Panic in the Streets* (1950), *Storm Warning* (1951) and *Love Me or Leave Me* (1955). He received an Academy Award for Best Story for the latter. Fuchs died in Los Angeles. In 1995 he received a posthumous screenplay credit, with Steven Soderbergh, on the remake *The Underneath*.
