	Arthur Laurents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur Laurents (born July 14, 1918) is an American playwright, novelist, screenwriter, librettist and stage director.
		During McCarthyism, Laurents was fllisted by the Hollywood movie studio bosses and for several years none of his works were used in film.
		Tom is 12 years younger than Arthur though he is described as “wiser than I was.” He describes their relationship in a very strange way, saying “Tom had it (confidence in them), mine was shaky.

	Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Arthur Laurents \| PBS
		Laurents' first play, "Home of the Brave," was a hard-hitting look at the plight of a Jewish GI during the War and opened on Broadway in 1945 and in London (as "The Way Back") in 1946.
		The show reteamed Laurents, Robbins, and Sondheim (Jule Styne wrote the bouncy score) and gave Ethel Merman what was arguably her greatest stage triumph.
		Laurents' career in Hollywood as a screenwriter has almost been separate from his career in the theater, although he has sometimes been involved in the adaptation of his plays and musicals.

		Laurents: They were always based on some — promoting — you know, they were like a commercial for a branch of the Army.
		Laurents: Because I went to a writers' meeting, and I was agitating for the soldier vote, and there was a man named Russell Crouse of Lindsay and Crouse.
		Laurents: Oh, a lot of it is. But actually, it was written because a producer named Ray Stark asked me to write a movie for Barbra Streisand, whom he had under contract and I’d given her first job when I directed a musical called "I Can Get It for You Wholesale" on Broadway.

	Review \| Original Story By by Arthur Laurents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Laurents' Broadway and Hollywood credits are a couple of arms long and include some of the most successful and prestigious productions ever staged or produced.
		Laurents can be bitchy and he can be sunny and sometimes he manages to be both in the same sentence.
		Laurents offers his experiences with seeming candor and many snipes then concludes -- when conclusions are called for -- with logic-defying analyses that mostly end up with him on the side of right and good.

	glbtq >> arts >> Laurents, Arthur
		Laurents was born July 14, 1918 in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn to middle-class Jewish parents from whom he inherited socialist leanings.
		Although Laurents was never fllisted himself, his opposition to the studio heads' support of the communist witch-hunts weakened his status in Hollywood.
		Laurents' experience of discrimination as both a Jew and a gay man--intensified by his experience during the Hollywood fllist period--infuses his work with a strong social conscience.

		Writer Arthur Laurents, on the other hand, is the exception to the rule.
		Born in 1917, Laurents was a Marxist during his college years at Cornell, and remains an unabashed liberal – like this critic – till this day.
		(Laurents is not the only one who claims to be a stepping-stone on Babs’ road to stardom.) But Laurents is such a wonderful raconteur that we almost forgive him.

	Book of the Month - Original Story - Arthur Laurents
		Laurents describes a wartime New York City that was vibrant, eager and sexually alive, where he wrote for radio (The Man Behind the Gun; Lux Radio Theater).
		She came in with her bird's nest of scraggly hair and her gawky disorganized body, clumped across the stage, took her wad of gum out of her mouth, stuck it under the chair and began to sing; eight bars into the song, I knew she had to be in the show.
		ARTHUR LAURENTS has been the recipient of awards from the American Institute of Arts and Letters, the Writers Guild of America, the Golden Globes, the Drama Desk and the National Board of Review, and is an emeritus member of the Council of the Dramatists Guild.

		Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents - East & West Side Story, 'Romeus & Juliet', and other stories

		When writer Arthur Laurents and Bernstein resumed discussions in 1955, they moved the turf war to the west side, made it Puerto Rican-"American" and, wrote Bernstein in his journal of the time, "Suddenly it all springs to life.
