Meet Norman Reilly Raine, Luzerne County’s Forgotten Oscar Winner
It's about time to talk about Norman Reilly Raine, a quiet member of the Luzerne County Oscar winners' club.
Unlike Jack Palance and the Mankiewicz brothers, there is little conversation about Mr. Raine, who won his Oscar for best adapted screenplay for 1937's "The Life of Emile Zola" — which also won best picture.
Raine was born in Wilkes-Barre on June 23, 1894, on Jackson Street, although the accuracy of this information is questionable due to the Times Leader's historically terrible track record with details of Raine's life.
