Henry, Victor Drai Productions and James B. Harris. Goldberg himself wrote a screenplay for Universal. Jerry Harvey, programming chief of Los Angeles’s legendary Z channel, nearly succeeded in bringing Orin Newfield to the screen. Before Harvey’s death in 1988, he had arranged for Sam Peckinpah to direct the film. Goldberg’s two nonfiction “media” books (Anchors and Citizen Turner, both co-authored with his son, Robert Goldberg) were widely praised and translated into several languages. Anchors was reprinted in Reader’s Digest’s Today’s Best Nonfiction (1991). Citizen Turner is, by critical consensus, the best of the many biographies of Turner. Biography After attending the Bronx High School of Science, Goldberg earned his undergraduate degree at Purdue University (BS, 1952), where he was a member of the wrestling team and the Purdue Players. He received his master's degree at NYU (MA 1955), and his PhD at University of Minnesota in 1958. His doctoral dissertation was "The Artist as Hero in Modern British Fiction, 1890-1930." Goldberg taught at Dartmouth College (1958–1964) and at the University of California, Los Angeles (1964–1991), where he was professor of English emeritus. He was a visiting professor at the University of Zaragoza, Spain (Fulbright professorship, 1962–63), Williams College (1981) and Queens College, City University of New York (1985–87). With Nancy Marmer, he co-edited Faulkner Studies and was the co-founder of Critique: Studies in Modern Fiction. In 1954, Goldberg married art critic, Nancy Marmer (formerly managing editor and book review editor of Art in America). Their son, Robert Goldberg (formerly TV critic for The Wall Street Journal) is a prizewinning writer and filmmaker. Goldberg's brother, Michael Goldberg (1924–2007), was a well-known abstract expressionist painter.
