Samuel A. Taylor (June 13, 1912 – May 26, 2000) was an American playwright and screenwriter. Born Samuel Albert Tanenbaum, in a Jewish family, in Chicago, Illinois, Taylor made his Broadway debut as author of the play ''The Happy Time'' in 1950. He wrote the play ''Sabrina Fair'' (1953) and co-wrote its film adaptation released the following year. In 1955, he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay. His early success brought him more work in Hollywood, including the biographical film ''The Eddy Duchin Story'' (1956) and the Alfred Hitchcock classic ''Vertigo'' (1958). His film career faded after the initial box office failure of ''Vertigo'', though Hitchcock and Taylor remained frequent collaborators. He was often contracted to write drafts for Hitchcock's later films, such as ''Torn Curtain'' (1966), though Taylor's only other Hitchcock screenplay (apart from ''Vertigo'') was for ''Topaz'' (1969). Taylor was nominated for his only Tony Award in as co-producer of the musical play ''No Strings'' (1962), for which he also wrote the book. Other playwrighting credits include ''Avanti!'' (1968), which was later adapted for the Billy Wilder film released in 1972, and ''Legend'' (1976). Taylor died of heart failure in Blue Hill, Maine. His credits are sometimes confused with those of novelist and screenwriter Samuel W. Taylor. ==Broadway credits== *''Nina'' (1951) *''Sabrina Fair'' (1953) *''The Pleasure of His Company'' (1958) *''First Love'' (1961) *''No Strings'' (1962) *''Beekman Place'' (1964) *''Avanti!''
