Horace L. Hahn (July 23, 1915 - January 31, 2003) was an American best known for working with Cecil B. DeMille on several films as a young man, including a supporting role in ''This Day and Age'' (1933). He also served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, and assisted Justice Robert H. Jackson as an interrogator in connection with the prosecution of Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials. ==Early life== Hahn was born in Colorado in 1915 to William L. and Masie Hahn. William Hahn was the Maytag Corporation representative in Denver. The family later moved to Los Angeles, California, where William Hahn founded the Maytag West Company, which later became a subsidiary of the Maytag Corporation.〔The New York Times, November 11, 1966, "Lawyer Joins Board At Maytag Company"〕 Horace's mother died when he was quite young and he was later adopted by his father's second wife, Lois. He attended John Burroughs Middle School and Los Angeles High School, where he placed first in the city-wide Shakespeare Competition in 1932, and was the winner of the Herald Oratorical Contest in 1933.〔''Los Angeles High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA) - Class of 1933'', (pp. 264–281 ), website of (E-Yearbook.com ), Retrieved 1 March 2010〕 He then attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he was the national forensic debate champion, graduating with an A.B. in Political Science. After graduating from Stanford Law School, he embarked on a national speaking tour with Helen Gahagan Douglas, the wife of actor Melvyn Douglas. Gahagan Douglas was elected to the United States House of Representatives from California's 14th congressional district as a liberal Democrat in 1944, and served three full terms. In 1950, Gahagan Douglas ran for the United States Senate against Republican U.S. Representative Richard M. Nixon.〔Kenneth Franklin Kurz, ''Nixon's Enemies'', NTC/Contemporary Publishing Group, 1998, p. 104〕 In the race against Nixon, Gahagan Douglas coined a nickname for Nixon which became one of the most recognized in American politics: "Tricky Dick".〔http://www.nytimes.com/books/first/m/mitchell-tricky.html〕
