Biography edit

Nugent was born in Dover, Ohio, the son of actor J.C. Nugent.[4] He attended Ohio State University.[5] He successfully made the transition from silent film to sound film. He directed The Cat and the Canary (1939), starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard.[6] He also directed the Hope films Never Say Die (1939) and My Favorite Brunette (1947).[7]

Nugent was a college classmate (and lifelong friend) of fellow Ohioan James Thurber.[8] Together, they wrote the Broadway play The Male Animal (1940)[4] in which Nugent starred with Gene Tierney. He also directed the 1942 film version of The Male Animal, starring Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland.[9]

Nugent was the brother-in-law of actor Alan Bunce of Ethel and Albert fame.[10]

He died in his sleep at his New York home.[11] His papers are archived at the New York Public Library.[12]
