Ivan Moffat
Ivan Romilly Moffat (18 February 1918 – 4 July 2002) was a British screenwriter, film producer and socialite who, with Fred Guiol, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for adapting Edna Ferber's eponymous novel into the film ''Giant'' (1956). Moffat was the grandson of actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree.
After studying at the London School of Economics, Moffat became a socialite and began to make films to promote the war effort. During World War II, he filmed activities of the US Army, meeting director George Stevens, whom he soon followed to Hollywood and assisted at Paramount Pictures. In the 1950s, between his two marriages, Moffat had a string of love affairs, notably with Elizabeth Taylor and Lady Caroline Blackwood. Beginning in 1956, he wrote or co-wrote screenplays for a number of well-known films, in addition to ''Giant'', and in the 1970s wrote for television.
==Early life==
Ivan Moffat was born in Havana, Cuba, the son of the British actress and poet Iris Tree and her American husband, artist and photographer Curtis Moffat.〔(Curtis Moffat: biography ) on the Victoria & Albert Museum website〕 He was the grandson of actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree.〔("Ivan Moffat" ), obituary in ''The Telegraph'', 3 August 2002, accessed 18 April 2012〕〔(Ivan Moffat on the 'Genealogy of the Moffat Family' website )〕 The family lived, among other places, in America and Australia, and moved to London when Moffat was 8 years old. There, Moffat attended Dartington Hall School, in Totnes, Devon, befriending Michael Young. Moffat then studied at the London School of Economics. As an undergraduate, he joined the Communist Party, which caused him later to be blacklisted for a time in Hollywood. Jessica Mitford once described Moffat as "spanning the gap between Left-wing politics and the deb dance scene".〔
By 1938, after his father moved back to America, Moffat joined the Gargoyle Club in Soho, hosting frequent parties in his father's famously decorated house, meeting Philip Toynbee and Dylan Thomas and working for Strand Films, where he helped to make documentaries for the government to promote the war effort.〔 In 1943, after America entered World War II, Moffat enlisted in the US Army, serving as a writer in the Signal Corps, known as the "Hollywood Irregulars". There, he served for the first time under the director George Stevens as a writer and assistant director. The unit filmed the liberation of Paris and of Dachau concentration camp, among other events.〔〔Bergan, Ronald. ("Ivan Moffat" ), obituary in ''The Guardian'', 22 July 2002, accessed 18 April 2012〕
