Ed Wood
Glen or Glenda is a feature film that stands as a notable work in Ed Wood's body of output as a director and writer.
Edward Davis Wood Jr. was born on October 10, 1924, in Poughkeepsie, a United States citizen who worked in the English language throughout his career. Wood took on multiple roles within the film industry, working as a director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film editor. He also worked as a stage actor and produced novels alongside his screen work. Glen or Glenda drew on this overlapping set of creative capacities, with Wood contributing to the production in several of the professional roles he occupied across his career.
Wood continued working across film and prose fiction following Glen or Glenda, sustaining activity as both a filmmaker and a novelist. He died on December 10, 1978, in Hollywood. The range of occupations he held — film director, screenwriter, film producer, film actor, stage actor, film editor, and novelist — reflects the breadth of his involvement in the work he undertook during his lifetime.
