Warren Adler

Warren Adler was born on Dec 16, 1927 in USA. Warren Adler's big-screen debut came with The War of the Roses directed by Danny DeVito in 1989.

Best known for "The War of the Roses," his masterpiece fictionalization of a macabre divorce turned into the dark comedy box office hit starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, Adler quickly became the fountainhead of Hollywood screenplay adaptations, fueling an unprecedented bidding war in a Hollywood commission for his unpublished book Private Lies. The New York Post reported, "Tri-State Pictures outbid Warner Bros and Columbia, and purchased the film rights to Private Lies for $1.2 million. ...the highest sums yet paid in Hollywood for an unpublished manuscript."
