}}Edward Eliscu (April 2, 1902 – June 18, 1998) was a lyricist, playwright, producer and actor, and a successful writer of songs for films.[1]

Life

Eliscu was born in Manhattan, New York City.[2] He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in Manhattan as a classmate of director George Cukor. He then attended City College of New York and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree.

He then began acting in Broadway plays. Eliscu's first film score was with Vincent Youmans and Billy Rose for the film Great Day. Two well-known songs from that show include "More Than You Know," and "Without A Song."

He married the dancer and journalist Stella Bloch in 1931. They both worked in the film industry until the House Committee on Un-American Activities named her husband in the 1950s. This ended his career in the film and later in the television industry.[1] Eliscu together with his wife's cousin Mortimer Offner moved away from Hollywood and returned to New York.[2]

Elscu was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975.[3]

He died on June 18, 1998, aged 96, in Newtown, Connecticut.[4]
