He won an Academy Award for Best Orginal Screenplay for the Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer, and wrote Annie Get Your Gun. He won two Tonys for the musical Redhead. He created and wrote nearly episode for 7 seasons of The Patty Duke Show, created and won an Emmy for I Dream of Jeannie and created Hart to Hart.
