 Leo Brady

Leo Brady (January 23, 1917 – November 18, 1984) was a multidimensional American writer and theater artist who also achieved great success as a teacher of young playwrights.After writing some well-received plays as an undergrad at Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Brady published a play version of Richard Connell’s short story "Brother Orchid", which became a staple of the Samuel French catalog and inspired Hollywood to adapt the story for a film starring Edward G. Robinson.
