Allan Carr
Allan Carr (May 27, 1937 – June 29, 1999) was an American producer and manager of stage and screen. Carr was nominated for numerous awards, winning a Tony Award and two People's Choice Awards, and was named Producer of the Year by the National Association of Theatre Owners.
==Early career==
Carr was born Allan Solomon in Chicago, Illinois. He attended Lake Forest College and Northwestern University, but his interest was always in show business. While at Northwestern, he invested $750 in the Broadway musical ''Ziegfeld Follies,'' starring Tallulah Bankhead. Though the show was not a hit, he had also invested $1,250 in 1967's ''The Happiest Millionaire,'' which gave him the success he needed to leave school and embark upon a career in entertainment.
In Chicago in the 1960s, he opened the Civic Theater and financed ''The World of Carl Sandburg'' starring Bette Davis and Gary Merrill, as well as Eva Le Gallienne in ''Mary Stuart,'' directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, and Tennessee Williams's "Garden District," featuring Cathleen Nesbitt and Diana Barrymore. Carr worked behind the scenes at ''Playboy'' with Hugh Hefner and was a co-creator of the ''Playboy Penthouse'' television series, which in turn launched the Playboy Clubs.
Through the years, he became known as a great planner of promotional events and parties. One such event, a black-tie affair for Truman Capote, took place in an abandoned Los Angeles jail.
