John H. Secondari

John Hermes Secondari (November 1, 1919 – February 8, 1975) was an American author and television producer.

Secondari's 1952 novel Coins in the Fountain was made into the 1954 Academy Award-winning film Three Coins in the Fountain, and then in 1964, to his disappointment, remade as the Twentieth Century-Fox film The Pleasure Seekers.[1] He went on to write plays for Playhouse 90 and was the founding Washington Bureau Chief and White House Correspondent for the ABC Television Network. In 1963, he produced the Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning ABC television series Saga of Western Man.
