Ande Lamb

Educated at Mobile, Alabama's Springhill University, screenwriter Ande Lamb began his career as a reporter and later feature editor with the New Orleans State. In films from 1941, first as story consultant on such lightweight fare as Police Bullets (1942) and Harvest Melody, Lamb later specialized in serials, in 1945 alone contributing to both Universal's Jungle Queen (featuring Ruth Roman in the title role) and Columbia's Jungle Raiders. He went on to pen a couple of the later Hopalong Cassidy Westerns and produced, directed, and wrote The Texan Meets Calamity Jane (1950), a very low-budget oater starring James Ellison and Evelyn Keyes in the title roles. Lamb would spend the remainder on his career in television. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
