Joseph Leo Mankiewicz: Chicago Tribune
built 286 days ago
From All Movie Guide: Like his older brother Herman J. Mankiewicz, American producer/ director/ writer Joseph Mankiewicz displayed a streak of brilliance from an early age. Before he was 20, the younger Mankiewicz was the assistant Berlin correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and an English translator for the subtitles of German-made films. Brother Herman, already ensconced in Hollywood as a high-priced screenwriter, invited Joseph to try his luck in Tinseltown in 1929.

Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania to Franz Mankiewicz and Johanna Blumenau, Jewish immigrants from Germany,[1] Mankiewicz moved with his family to New York City where he graduated in 1924 from Stuyvesant High School. In 1928, he obtained a bachelor's degree from Columbia University. For a time he worked in Berlin, Germany, as a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune newspaper before being lured into the motion picture business.

After graduating from Columbia, Mankiewicz got a job with the Chicago Tribune as a foreign correspondent in Berlin. In Germany he first found employment in the film industry, translating titles from German to English for Universum Film Aktien, the largest film distributor in the country. He was never able to live within his means in Europe and finally had to turn to his brother Herman for help.
