Albert Maurice Hackett (February 16, 1900 – March 16, 1995) was an American actor, dramatist, and screenwriter best known for his collaborations with his partner and wife Frances Goodrich.
Early years
Hackett was born in New York City, the son of actor Florence Hackett (née Hart) and Maurice Hackett. He attended Professional Children's School and began acting as a child actor, appearing on stage and in films. Raymond Hackett, his brother, was an actor. Arthur V. Johnson, the first film actor to marry Florence around 1910, was their stepfather. Blanche Sweet, Raymond's second wife, was his sister-in-law.
Career
Hackett appeared in numerous films, including Anne of Green Gables (1919). Mr. and Mrs. North (1941), Mirrors (1928), Up Pops Out (1925), Just a Woman (1914), and The Happy Marriage (1909). The Diary of Anne Frank (1955 and 1997), The Great Big Doorstep (1942), The Great Big Doorstep (1932), Everybody's Welcome (1931) and Up Pops the Devil (1930).
The couple moved to Hollywood in the late 1920s to write the screenplay for their stage success Up Pops the Devil for Paramount Pictures shortly after marrying screenwriter Frances Goodrich. They began working with MGM in 1933 and stayed with the company until 1939. The Thin Man (1934), one of their first jobs, was writing the screenplay. They were encouraged by director W. S. Van Dyke to use Dashiell Hammett's books as a starting point but rather concentrate on giving witty exchanges for the main characters, Nick and Nora Charles (played by William Powell and Myrna Loy). The resulting film became one of the year's top hits, and the script, which was supposed to portray a modern marriage in a more realistic way for the first time, was considered groundbreaking, but it was before the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced.
