Warren Douglas (born Warren Douglas Wandberg; July 29, 1911 – November 15, 1997) was an American actor, novelist, lyricist and screenwriter.[1]
Born in Minneapolis,[2] Douglas was a 1929 graduate of Minneapolis South High School. He later attended the Minneapolis College of Music.[3]
Douglas' work on stage included work in local theater and acting in productions in summer stock theater. On Broadway, he had the role of Alec Dixon in Happily Ever After (1945).[4]
Beginning in the 1950s, Douglas focused his efforts more on writing than on acting. He wrote two novels, The Man from Wells Fargo, and One Came Alone, in addition to 48 teleplays and screenplays.
