For those baffled by my reference: ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA Odets, Clifford b. July 18, 1906, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S. d. Aug. 14, 1963, Hollywood, Calif. leading dramatist of the theatre of social protest in the United States during the 1930s. His important affiliation with the celebrated Group Theatre contributed to that company's considerable influence on the American stage. From 1923 to 1928 Odets learned his profession as an actor in repertory companies; in 1931 he joined the newly founded Group Theatre as one of its original members. Odets' Waiting for Lefty (1935), his first great success, used both auditorium and stage for action and was an effective plea for labour unionism; Awake and Sing (1935) was a naturalistic family situation drama; and Golden Boy (1937) was about an Italian youth who became a professional prizefighter. Paradise Lost (1935) deals with the tragic life of a middle-class family. In 1936 he married the Austrian actress Luise Rainer. Odets moved to Hollywood in the late '30s to write for motion pictures and became a successful director. His later plays include The Big Knife (1949), The Country Girl (1950; British title Winter Journey), and The Flowering Peach (1954). A musical based on Golden Boy was made in 1964. britannica.com He was the model for "Barton Fink" in the Coen Brothers' movie of that name, with John Turturro, John Goodman, and Judy Davis.
