Birth Of Moss Hart
Hart was raised in relative poverty in the Bronx. As a child, he was close to his Aunt Kate, who took him to the theater frequently. Though he lost contact with her after she and his parents had a falling out, he always credited her with giving him his love for theater. He learned that the theater made possible “the art of being somebody else… not a scrawny boy with bad teeth [and] a funny name.”
Hart and Kaufman went on to write several more plays over the next decade, including You Can’t Take it With You andThe Man Who Came to Dinner. You Can’t Take it With You won a 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was made into a movie that won the Best Picture Oscar in 1938.
In addition to his theater work, Hart wrote a few screenplays including Gentleman’s Agreement, Hans Christian Andersen, and A Star is Born. He wrote a memoir that was made into the film Act One in 1963. Hart directed his final play, Camelot in 1960. He suffered a heart attack and died on December 20, 1961 at the age of 57.
