Biography

edit

After studying literature and economics at the University of Toledo, Fenady turned to cinema and theatre and moved to Hollywood. He began as a screenwriter for the television series Confidential File, directed by Paul Coates, and he met director Irvin Kershner. He wrote the screenplay for the 1958 film Stakeout on Dope Street, before following it up with The Young Captives. Fenady and Kershner soon thereafter began a longtime partnership in the cinema.[citation needed] In 1957, Warner Bros. signed the pair to a long-term contract.[2]

Fenady wrote the series The Rebel alongside the actor Nick Adams, while Kershner directed the show's 76 episodes. He then wrote the script for the Western Ride Beyond Vengeance and produced the television series Branded.

In 1967, Fenady worked on a new television series, Hondo, based on the movie Hondo. The project turned into a TV movie, and brought Fenady to write Chisum in the 1970s, directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and starring John Wayne.

During his career, Fenady also acted on occasion. He played Philip Sheridan in the TV series The Rebel. He received a Golden Boot Award in 1995.
