JAMES LIPTON | 93

James Lipton who studied law early in his life, initially ventured into entertainment as an actor just to raise money for his education. He went on to become a writer, lyricist, actor, and producer. Lipton showed his versatility when he wrote several successful soap operas like Another World, Guiding Light, and Capitol. He also has numerous books to his credit, including An Exaltation of Larks and Mirrors.

On top of these achievements, he also appeared in several Broadway plays like The Autumn Garden, The Big Break, and Sherry!. He was awarded France’s Order des Arts et des Lettres in 2014. Lipton had also been an accomplished pilot and since the 1980s, he has recorded over 1,000 hours of flight time. Throughout the years, he managed to maintain his wealth, too, with the help of a trustworthy financial advisor. He may have passed on, but no one can deny the legacy he left in the industry. Younger generations of actors will certainly see him as an inspiration.
