Ezra Stone: A Theatrical Biography Book

Best remembered for his role as Henry Aldrich in the radio comedy The Aldrich Family. Ezra Stone enjoyed one of the most productive careers in show business history. He first made his mark as a child star on Broadway and then went on to become one of the stage's youngest directors. Though he was a successful actor, Stone felt that he needed to learn all aspects of the theater if he was to stay in show business. This attitude was to serve him well later in his career when he directed hundreds of television shows.

This work concentrates on his career from 1936 to 1953, as Stone made the leap from stage to radio and then to television. It pays particular attention to his portrayal of Henry Aldrich, but fully covers all the aspects of Stone's multifaceted career as actor, director, producer, writer and teacher.
