Biography
Actor/writer Paul Dubov did his first film work as a Universal contract player in 1942. Never a leading man, Dubov was the quintessential utility player, able to convey characters of virtually any age or ethnic range. He played sizeable roles in such modestly budgeted sci-fiers as The She Creature (1956),
Atomic Submarine (1959) and
The Underwater City (1960). In the early 1960s, he was given his first screenwriting opportunities through the auspices of Four Star Productions, headed by
Dick Powell. With his wife Gwen Bagni, Dubov created and developed the Four Star TV series
Honey West (1965), starring
Anne Francis as a gadget-happy private eye. Paul Dubov's final screenplay credit, again in collaboration with Gwen Bagni, was the 1979 TV miniseries
Backstairs at the White House. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
