Timeline
Frank Tashlin was born on February 19, 1913 in Weehawken, New Jersey, USA as Francis Fredrick von Taschlein.
Began drawing comic strips for his junior high school newspaper in Astoria, Queens, NY, starting in 1927.
Worked as a gag writer for comedian Charley Chase at the Hal Roach Studio in the mid-1930s.
Moved to Los Angeles in 1933 and began working for Leon Schlesinger at Warner Brothers on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series.
Wrote and drew a syndicated comic strip between 1934-38 based on his old boss from the Van Beuren animation studio, producer Amadee J. Van Beuren, called "Van Boring.".
According to Tashlin, he was fired from his animator job at Warner Brothers in 1936 when producer Leon Schlesinger discovered that Tashlin was also drawing a successful daily comic strip, "Van Boring," that was running in the Los Angeles Times. Schlesinger demanded a cut of Tashlin's profits from the comic strip, Tashlin refused, and Schlesinger fired him.
From 1939-41 he worked as an animator at Walt Disney Studios, although he never got screen credit for any of the work he did.
Wrote and illustrated four children's books from 1946-52: "The Bear That Wasn't", "The Possum That Didn't", "The World That Isn't" and "The Turtle That Couldn't".
He has directed two films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: The Way of Peace (1947) and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957).
He was a director and writer, known for Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), The Girl Can't Help It (1956) and Artists and Models (1955). He was married to Jean Deines, Mary Costa and Dorothy Marguerite Hill.
While directing Bing Crosby in Say One for Me (1959), Bing mentioned to Tashlin how much he hated how he was caricatured in the Warner Bros. cartoon Swooner Crooner (1944). Tashlin laughed, and told Bing that not only did he direct that cartoon, he also animated the caricature in it!
His book "The Bear That Wasn't" was turned into an animated cartoon at MGM studios in 1967 (The Bear That Wasn't (1967)) by veteran cartoon director Chuck Jones. Jones and Tashlin were acquaintances from the Warner Bros. animation studio in the 1930s and 1940s.
