UCLA Library Special Collections, Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA. Biography Abraham Lincoln Polonsky was born December 5, 1910. He graduated from the City College of New York and Columbia University Law School, and for a while, he taught English at City College. Before trying starting his career in film, Polonsky wrote novels and several short stories. During the 1940s he also wrote for radio and worked with the Columbia Workshop and Orson Welles. During World War II, Polonsky was assigned to the Office of Strategic Studies, a forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency. He moved to the West Coast in the mid-1940s. Polonsky's first two produced screenplays, Golden Earrings and Body and Soul, were released in 1947 and he was nominated for an Academy Award for Body and Soul. Not long after, Polonsky directed his first movie, Force of Evil (1948). During the late 1940s, he also became an editor of the journal, Hollywood Quarterly. In the early 1950's, Polonsky refused to testify about his Communist Party affiliations or name party members before the House Un-American Activities Committee and was subsequently fired by Twentieth Century Fox and blacklisted. With only a few film titles to his credit, the Polonsky name did not appear in any film credit again for almost two decades. It was not until 1969 that he directed his second film, Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here. Polonsky moved back to New York, and using pseudonyms wrote for television shows such as You Are There and the series Danger. During the 1950s he wrote the novel, A Season of Fear and co-wrote the 1959 film Odds Against Tomorrow, which was attributed to John O. Killens. Years later, as a leader in the fight to have credits restored to blacklisted filmmakers, Polonsky earned his own credit for that screenplay in 1996 from the Writers Guild of America. In the 1990s, Polonsky helped write the McCarthy-era docudrama Guilty by Suspicion and appeared around the country in programs observing the anniversary of the blacklist. He also taught cinema classes at the University of Southern California and California State Northridge. To commemorate his film work, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association selected Polonsky a co-winner of the group's 1998 career achievement award. Polonsky died October 29, 1999 in Beverly Hills, California. Scope and Content
