Biography
Pierre Collings is Notable.
Pierre Collings was a writer and filmmaker who, along with Sheridan Gibney, won two Academy Awards in 1936 for The Story of Louis Pasteur. Their screenplay was adapted from their own work, leading to awards for both Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Story.[1] Shortly after completing "Pasteur", Collings suffered a nervous breakdown and did no further work in Hollywood; co-writer Sheridan Gibney accepted the Oscars on his behalf. His death at 35 was attributed to pneumonia.[2]
