Seymour “Budd” Schulberg ’32 Academy Award-winning author Seymour “Budd” Schulberg ’32 died at his Westhampton Beach, NY, home on August 5, 2009. He was 95. At the age of 27, Mr. Schulberg became a best-selling author with the publication of What Makes Sammy Run? the tale of Sammy Glick, an unscrupulous man who climbs the ladder of success in Hollywood. Mr. Schulberg served in the US Navy from 1943 to 1946, during which time he gathered war crime evidence from Nazi film materials for the Nuremberg trials. He was awarded the Army Commendation Ribbon for his service. After the war, Mr. Schulberg was approached by director Elia Kazan, who proposed the project that eventually became the film On The Waterfront. The picture won eight Academy Awards in 1954, including best picture, best director, and best screenplay. Deerfield recognized Mr. Schulberg’s many achievements in 1986, when the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association voted to present him with the Heritage Award for his “contributions to public service in the arts.” Mr. Schulberg is survived by his wife Betsy and their son Benn and daughter Jessica, as well as a son Stephen and daughter Victoria from previous marriages.
