Charles Edward Fleming Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Charles Gordone (October 12, 1925 – November 16, 1995) was an American playwright, actor, director, and educator. He was the first African American to win the annual Pulitzer Prize for Drama and he devoted much of his professional life to the pursuit of multi-racial American theater and racial unity.
His parents were William and Camille Fleming. His mother later married William L. Gordon, and Charles adopted his stepfather's surname. He added the "e" to "Gordon" when he found that another Charles Gordon was already registered with Actors Equity (the stage actors union) in New York.
