Background

Scope and content:

This collection includes production materials related to the shows of American writer and television producer David Victor (1910-1989). Among the materials are scripts, shooting schedules, correspondence, and clippings.

Biographical / historical:

David Victor (1910-1989) was an American television producer and screenwriter. Born David Vikodetz in what is now Ukraine, Victor and his mother immigrated to the United States in 1923. During the Great Depression Victor, in an effort to support his mother, set aside his interest in medicine to work. Eventually this interest led him to write and produce the medical dramas Marcus Welby, M.D. (1969-1976), and Dr. Kildare (1961-1966).

Victor produced 37 television programs including Little Women (1978), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964-1968), and The Rebel (1959-1961). He also wrote episodes for many programs such as Gunsmoke (1955-1975), Fireside Theatre (1949-1955), and Rawhide (1959-1965).
