New York native and playwright Tony Kushner began producing his own works in New York in the 1970s. Though he was still in college, Kushner received immense praise for his writing. He would go on to write several books and many plays, winning more than one Tony and Pulitzer for his work, especially the Angels in America series, which was adapted into a mini-series in the early 2000s. Kushner also helped pen the screenplay for 2005's Munich. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
