New               York               City               is               an               eternal               favorite               with               Hollywood.

With               its               multitude               of               iconic               buildings               and               structures,               as               well               as               its               inexhaustible               wealth               of               talent,               the               history               of               Hollywood's               partnership               is               too               much               for               any               one               article               to               even               attempt               to               sum               up.

Thus,               I               decided               to               focus               on               its               screenwriters-               three               in               particular.

Lester               Cole               was               born               on               June               19,               1904               in               New               York               City.

His               career               as               a               writer               and               screenwriter               for               the               movies               spanned               four               decades.

His               first               movie               seems               to               have               been               If               I               Had               A               Million               in               1932.

Over               the               years,               he               was               prolific.

According               to               the               list               on               IMDb.com,               it               appears               that               he               favored               stories               involving               crime               and               mysteries.

It               is               also               clear               that               his               work               included               other               genres               as               well.

Some               of               the               movies               he               wrote               on               were               The               Jury's               Secret               (1938),               The               Invisible               Man               Returns               (1940),               and               Born               Free               (1966).

He               helped               to               establish               the               Screen               Writers               Guild               (SWG)               in               1933               and               later               spent               a               year               in               prison               during               the               1950s               for               his               political               beliefs               as               one               of               the               "Hollywood               Ten".

He               emigrated               to               London               in               1961,               but               returned               later               and               continued               to               write               under               a               psuedonym.

On               August               15,               1985,               Cole               died               of               a               heart               attack.

He               was               81               years               old.
               Harry               Essex               was               born               in               New               York               City               on               November               29,               1910.

He               always               wanted               to               write               for               the               movies               from               childhood,               but               did               not               get               the               opportunity               for               some               time.

He               wrote               for               several               New               York               newspapers               and               had               short               stories               published               in               journals               such               as               the               Saturday               Evening               Post.

Then               along               came               World               War               II.

Just               as               it               did               for               most               everyone               of               that               generation,               the               War               interrupted               his               career               for               a               while.

When               he               was               discharged               from               the               army,               a               friend               finally               gave               him               the               big               break               he'd               been               looking               for.

Eventually,               his               career               as               a               screenwriter               spanned               from               Man               Made               Monster               in               1941               to               It               Came               From               Outer               Space               II               which               was               released               on               television               in               1996.

He               died               on               February               6,               1997.
               Among               New               York's               most               famous               screenwriters,               Stanley               Kubrick               was               born               on               July               26,               1928.

He               performed               badly               at               school               until               his               father               introduced               him               to               chess               circa               1941.

Chess               would               become               an               important               motif               in               his               movies.

For               his               thirteenth               birthday,               his               father               bought               him               a               camera.

He               did               photographic               assignments               for               Look               magazine               for               a               while.

His               style               of               writing,               shooting,               and               special               effects               was               so               distinct               it               gave               rise               to               a               new               discriptive               term.
