Lawrence Lipton

Lawrence Lipton (October 10, 1898 - July 9, 1975)cite web|last=Lipton|first=Nettie|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=LAWRENCE LIPTON|publisher=University of Southern California|date=1983|url=http://www.usc.edu/libraries/archives/arc/findingaids/lipton/index.html|format=|accessdate=2007-10-23] was an American journalist, writer, and beat poet, as well as the father of James Lipton.

Lipton was born in Lodz, Poland, the son of Rose and Abraham Lipton. He was brought to the United States in 1903 and settled in Chicago, Illinois. Lipton began working as a graphic artist and won an award for his illustration of Haggadah, a Passover prayer book. He also worked as a journalist, writing for the Jewish Daily Forward and working for a movie theater as a publicity director. During the 1920s, he associated with Chicago writers Edgar Lee Masters, Sherwood Anderson, Harriet Monroe, Ben Hecht and Carl Sandburg. Lipton later wrote for Atlantic Monthly, Quarterly Review of Literature, and the Chicago Review. Lipton co-authored many mystery novels during the 1930 and 1940s. His other novels include "Brother, The Laugh is Bitter" and "In Secret Battle", as well as a poetry book, "Rainbow at Midnight". His book, "The Holy Barbarians" (1959), linked Lipton to 1950s Beatnik writers. In the episode Swan Song on the Gilmore Girls, Rory is showing Jess her copy of "The Holy Barbarians" by Lipton, and says that he is "the father of the guy that does those Actor’s Studio interviews on TV," to which Jess responds, "it’s weird that a beatniky guy would have a conservative son like that."

Lipton's first wife was Dorothy Omansky. He next married Betty Weinberg, a teacher; their son is "Inside the Actors Studio" host James Lipton. He was later married to author Craig Rice and Nettie Esther Brooks (from 1948 to 1975).
