Himan Brown
Himan Brown (July 21, 1910 – June 4, 2010〔(Himan Brown obituary. ) ''The New York Times'', June 6, 2010.〕), also known as Hi Brown, was an American producer of radio programs. Producing for the major radio networks and also for syndication, Brown worked with such actors as Helen Hayes, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Gregory Peck, Frank Sinatra and Orson Welles while creating thousands of radio programs.〔 He produced more than 30,000 radio shows over seven decades.〔 ==Early life== The son of a tailor from a shtetl near the Ukrainian seaport of Odessa, Brown first learned about radio from a shop teacher at Brooklyn's Boys High School. At the age of 18, he began broadcasting on New York's WEAF, reading newspapers with a Yiddish dialect. One of his listeners was Gertrude Berg who wanted him to play Jake, her husband on ''The Goldbergs'', which he did for six months. He continued as a radio actor but soon began to pitch shows directly to advertising agencies.〔 While at Brooklyn College, he recruited fellow student Irwin Shaw to write scripts, giving the author his first paid writing job. Shaw later based a character on Brown in his 1951 novel about the radio industry, ''The Troubled Air''.〔 He earned a law degree from Brooklyn Law School, where he was valedictorian, in 1931.
