Biography

Arthur Ross, a renowned writer, began his creative journey in high school, where he first discovered his passion for writing. This early spark would ultimately lead to his debut in the entertainment industry, co-authoring a stage show called "Meet the People" at the tender age of a teenager. The show's success would later translate to Broadway, marking a pivotal moment in Ross's career.

Following his high school endeavors, Ross's film and television credits began to take shape, with his first notable project being the all-star musical comedy, Star Spangled Rhythm, released in 1942. However, his writing career was put on hold temporarily as he served in the Army during World War II.

After his military service, Ross returned to the world of entertainment, penning a wide range of film genres, including crime melodramas, Westerns, and comedies. One of his most notable works during this period was the Oscar-nominated drama, Brubaker, released in 1980.

Throughout his illustrious career, Ross has contributed to numerous radio and television series, including the popular anthology series, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, which aired in 1962.
