Carl Zuckmayer (1896 –1977) was a German writer and playwright.
In 1929, he wrote the script for the movie Der blaue Engel (starring Marlene Dietrich) based on the novel Professor Unrat by Heinrich Mann. That year, he was awarded the Georg Buechner Prize, a prestigious German language literary award.
In 1931, his play Der Hauptmann von Koepenick premiered and became another success. But when the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, his plays were prohibited. Zuckmayer and his family moved to their house in Austria, where he published a few more works. After the Anschluss, he was expatriated by the Nazi government, and the Zuckmayers fled via Switzerland to the United States in 1939, where he first worked as a script writer in Hollywood before buying a farm in Vermont and working as a farmer until 1946.
