Biography
Robert Joseph Thomas was born January 26, 1922 in San Diego, CA. He grew up in Los Angeles where his father, George Thomas,
was a publicist who worked for Mary Pickford and a number of movie studios including Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount and Columbia.
Thomas attended the University of California, Los Angeles (graduated 1943), where he wrote an entertainment column for the
UCLA humor magazine,
The Claw, which he edited. He joined The Associated Press in Los Angeles with the hope of becoming a war correspondent; however,
he was assigned to a correspondent post in Fresno before being assigned as a Hollywood correspondent in Los Angeles at the
age of twenty-two. Prior to his Hollywood post, Thomas signed his news stories Robert J. Thomas, but changed his byline to
Bob Thomas with the new assignment. Since 1944, he has written thousands of Hollywood syndicated columns for the Associated
Press. At one time his byline appeared in the Associated Press more than any other writer in the new agency's history. He
has also written numerous magazine articles about the Hollywood scene.
Over the course of his career, Thomas has written (or co-written) numerous books. In 1967, Thomas published his first biography
King Cohn, and has followed with at least thirty books, both fiction and non-fiction. Two of his books
Howard, the Amazing Mr. Hughes and
Bud and Lou: the Abbott and Costello Story were made into television movies,
The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977) and
Bud and Lou (1978). Thomas has written, produced and appeared in five television specials about the Academy Awards. He has made appearances
on various television programs including the
Johnny Carson Show,
The Merv Griffin Show,
Good Morning America,
The Today Show, and
Nightline. Thomas co-produced and narrated
Hollywood Stars, a weekly syndicated television show devoted to interviews and film clips.
On December 1, 1988, Thomas became the first author-reporter to have a star on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame. In 2003,
Thomas marked 60 years as a reporter for The Associated Press.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of materials related to the career of writer, Bob Thomas. The collection contains material for twenty-five
books authored by Thomas; numerous columns written for The Associated Press; obituary files (Thomas' research files); a small
collection of research photographs; and a small amount of printed ephemera. The bulk of the collection is book project files
which consist of original typescript, carbon, and/or photocopied drafts of manuscript pages, newspaper and magazine clippings
(some authored by Thomas), research files, holograph notes of interviews conducted by Thomas, an occasional note or letter
to Thomas, and a small amount of photographic material and audio tapes.
The Associated Press columns, written between 1975 and 1991, consist of carbon copy drafts, computer print out drafts and/or
newspaper clippings about individuals, films, or television programs. The Obituary files (research files) were compiled by
Thomas in the course of his research and writing about individuals in the entertainment industry and contain columns (typescript
and clippings) written by both Thomas and other writers. The research photographs, collected by Thomas, may have been used
as research for book projects or for his work with the Director's Guild of America publication, Action. The small mix of
printed ephemera is from events and tributes attended by Thomas during his Hollywood industry career. Original file titles
have been maintained throughout the collection except for a small amount of files where titles have been supplied or enhanced
by the processor.

Series 3. Research Materials
ca. late 1920s-2000s
Physical Description: (Boxes 1-13, 50-53, 56-58)
Scope and Content Note
The series contains research files compiled by Thomas for his writing endeavors. The series is arranged into two subseries:
Sub-series 1. Obituary Files; and Subseries 2. Research Photographs. The Obituary Files were compiled by Thomas for his research
and writing about the entertainment industry. At the time the files were compiled they served as both an "obituary file"
and an active research file. Through the years the files became what Thomas described as "dead" research files. The bulk
of the individual files contain drafts or clippings of columns by Thomas. Additional materials include what appear to be
drafts of stories or possible publication pieces by Thomas or others; additional newspaper and magazine clippings; biographical
information about individuals; and notes. Additionally, there are occasional invitations, notes, or short letters to Thomas
scattered throughout (authors are detailed in the contents listing) as well as printed ephemera from funerals. The files in
the series are arranged alphabetically by name. Thomas's name often appears in the abbreviated form, "B.T."
The Research Photographs includes a variety of entertainment related images collected by Thomas from various sources and research
institutions, and may have been used as research for book projects or for his work with the Director's Guild of America publication,
Action. Additionally, there are a small number of negatives. Most of the material is not dated; the dated portion ranges from
ca. 1920s-1980s. The series is arranged alphabetically by individual's names, film titles and/or subject. A small portion
of file titles were created or enhanced by the processor.
