Edward Eliscu (April 2, 1902 – June 18, 1998) was an American lyricist, playwright, producer and actor, and a successful writer of songs for films.[1]
Life
Eliscu was born in Manhattan, New York City.[2] He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in Manhattan as a classmate of director George Cukor. He then attended City College of New York and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. His older brother Millton D'Eliscu was a military officer, multi-sport coach, and athletic director.[3]
He then began acting in Broadway plays. Eliscu's first film score was with Vincent Youmans and Billy Rose for the film Great Day. Two well-known songs from that show include "More Than You Know," and "Without a Song."
He married the dancer and journalist Stella Bloch in 1931. They both worked in the film industry until the House Committee on Un-American Activities named her husband in the 1950s. This ended his career in the film and later in the television industry.[4] Eliscu together with his wife's cousin Mortimer Offner moved away from Hollywood and returned to New York.[5]
Elscu was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.[2]
He died on June 18, 1998, aged 96, in Newtown, Connecticut.[1]
Eliscu is the grandfather of music journalist and broadcaster Jenny Eliscu.[6]Шаблон:Primary source inline
