Although Edwards received
national recognition as a result of his leading part in the
controversial film drama
~Home of the Brave,~ he
found that film roles for him

written by Hollywood scenarists,
he set. out to correct this situation in the simplest way; by
writing scripts for himself.

Success came to Jimmy Ed

it had come to him as an actor

jand director and it ws as a

writer tht Universal-International Studios recently placed
him under long term contract.

His first original screen play

television plays.
