Irving Gaynor Neiman wrote for radio, television, and the stage. Mr. Neiman, a graduate of City College, got his big break when he sold a radio script to NBC in the early 1940s. He was drafted into the military shortly afterward, but he continued to write and was one of five servicemen whose work was presented on Broadway in 1943 under the title THE ARMY PLAY BY PLAY. Mr. Neiman's contribution was titled BUTTON YOUR LIP and featured Myrna Loy in a bit part. For radio, he wrote HENRY ALDRICH and JOE AND MABEL. In later years, Mr. Neiman did a number of adaptations for television, including the James Thurber short story "The Greatest Man in the World," Sophie Treadwell's play MACHINAL, and the Michel del Castillo novel "Child of Our Time," for which he received a Writers Guild Award.
