James Vincent Sheean

(December 5, 1899, Pana, Illinois – March 16, 1975, Arolo, Frz.

of Leggiuno,

Italy)

was an American journalist and novelist. Sheean's most famous work was Personal

History (New York: Doubleday, 1935). It won one of the inaugural

National Book Awards: the Most Distinguished Biography of 1935. Film producer

Walter Wanger

acquired the political memoir and made it the basis for his 1940 film

production Foreign Correspondent, directed

by Alfred Hitchcock. Sheean served as a reporter

for the New York Herald Tribune during the Spanish Civil

War. Sheean wrote the narration for the

feature-length documentary Crisis (1939)

directed by Alexander Hammid and Herbert Kline. He

translated Ève Curie's biography of her mother, Madame

Curie (1939), into English. Sheean wrote Oscar Hammerstein I: Life and

Exploits of an Impresario (1955) as well as a controversial biography of Dorothy

Thompson and Sinclair Lewis, Dorothy and Red (1963). He

studied at the University of Chicago, becoming part of a literary circle which

included Glenway Wescott, Yvor Winters,

Elizabeth Madox Roberts and Janet Lewis

while he was there. Vincent and Diana Forbes-Robertson Sheean were friends

of Edna St. Vincent Millay and her husband,

Eugen; they spent time together on Ragged Island

off the coast of Maine

during the summer of 1945.
