“Daniel Taradash, 90, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of “From Here to Eternity” who imagined the film’s erotic beach scene and was a former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, died Feb. 22 at a Los Angeles hospital. He had pancreatic cancer.”
“He directed his own co-written screenplay of “Storm Center” (1956), starring Bette Davis as a town librarian ostracized when she refuses to remove a book about Communism. The film, considered a statement about the anti-Communist blacklist of artists, flopped and ended his directing career.” (from The Washington Post)
