Biography
David Mamet (b. 1947, Chicago, Illinois) is a playwright, screenwriter, director and producer. His play Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) won the Pulitzer Prize and four Tony Awards. During his career, he has twice been nominated for an Oscar in the category of Best Adapted Screenplay – The Verdict (Sidney Lumet, 1982) and Wag the Dog (Barry Levinson, 1997). He began his career as a playwright in 1976 and directed his first film 11 years later. Mamet enjoyed immediate success in the theater thanks to his plays Sexual Perversity in Chicago (1976) and American Buffalo (1976). His directorial and screenwriting debut, the con artist caper House of Games (1987), won awards at the festival in Venice, and his subsequent writer-director efforts have enjoyed similar success.
