Budd & Stuart Schulberg

As the sons of Hollywood motion picture producer, B.P. Schulberg, Budd and Stuart Schulberg literally grew up in the hard-hitting world of Sammy Glick.  The two brothers collaborated on the teleplay of What Makes Sammy Run? when it was performed on NBC-TV's Sunday Showcase and again on the book of the 1964 Broadway musical.  (Click here for more about Budd Schulberg.)
