Biography
Worthington Miner, actor, stage and film director and noted television producer and pioneer, was born in Buffalo, New York in 1900. He made his Broadway debut as a spear carrier in the 1925 production of CYRANO DE BERGERAC, but soon turned to directing with the aid of Katharine Cornell. In 1942, after over ten years of directing stage and film productions, he became manager of Columbia Broadcasting System's entire television department.
At CBS, Worthington Miner produced three major programs reaching his zenith in 1948 with STUDIO ONE, a program which showed adaptations of dramatic works. In his efforts to bring quality entertainment to a large audience, Miner became a television innovator. He pioneered such camera techniques as the close-up and the long-shot and was instrumental in developing the craft of live television acting, combining techniques used by both stage and film actors. After STUDIO ONE, Worthington Miner produced several more television programs and the acclaimed 1964 motion picture THE PAWNBROKER. He died in New York City in 1982.
