Alfred Uhry, TCM's guest programmer for November, has the distinction of being the only American writer to have won a Pulitzer Prize (for his 1987 play Driving Miss Daisy), an Oscar® (for his screenplay treatment of that play for the 1989 film) and a Tony award (two, actually—for the 1997 play The Last Night of Ballyhoo, and for the book of the 1998 musical Parade).

Atlanta-born Uhry won his first Tony nomination for the book and lyrics of 1975's The Robber Bridegroom. His other screenplays include those for 1988's Mystic Pizza and 1993's Rich in Love. Uhry will appear with TCM host Robert Osborne to introduce his programming picks, a variety of movies from the 1940s: the comedy A Date with Judy (1948), the all-star revue Stage Door Canteen (1943), the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and the World War II drama The Best Years of Our Lives (1946).
