Biographical History
Melvyn Hesselberg was born on April 5, 1901 in Macon, Georgia and began his theatrical career as Melvyn Douglas in 1917. During his career he was a star of the screen, stage, and television; to date, he has been the only male actor to win a Tony, an Emmy, and an Oscar award. In addition to acting, Douglas served in both world wars and was active in politics. In 1940 he became the first actor to serve as a delegate at the Democratic National Convention. He was married in 1931 and died in New York City on August 4, 1981. Dr. Arthur's interest in Douglas stems from the fact that he was a friend of Arthur's family. In addition, Douglas' involvement in politics was the topic of Arthur's doctoral dissertation. Douglas chose Arthur to help him write his autobiography in 1971.
