From Wikipedia:
E. Maurice "Buddy" Adler (June 22, 1909 – July 12, 1960) was an American film producer and a former production head for 20th Century Fox studios.

Born in New York City, New York, he married in 1940 actress Anita Louise Fremault (1915–1970) with whom he had two children.

In 1954, his production of "From Here to Eternity" won the Academy Award for Best Picture and in 1956, his "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" was nominated for best picture. Adler also produced the 1956 film "Bus Stop", starring Marilyn Monroe.
