  • The Gordons ist das Pseudonym des Autorenduos, bestehend aus Gordon Gordon (* 2. März 1906 in Anderson, Indiana; † 14. März 2002) und Mildred Gordon (* 24. Juni 1912 in Kansas; † 3. Februar 1979 in Tucson, Arizona). Gordon Gordon studierte zusammen mit Mildred Nixon an der University of Arizona und heiratete sie 1932. Nach dem Studium bekam Gordon eine Anstellung in der Redaktion der Tageszeitung Tucson Citizen. 1935 wechselte er in die Redaktion der Filmfirma 20th Century Fox und blieb dort bis 1942. Von dort engagierte ihn die Heimatschutzbehörde und bis Kriegsende arbeitete Gordon bei der Spionageabwehr. Mildred Nixon hatte u. a. Pädagogik studiert und arbeitete nach ihrem Studium auch einige Zeit als Lehrerin. Nach ihrer Heirat begann sie für die Nachrichtenagentur United Press zu arbeiten. Für einige Zeit fungierte sie auch als Herausgeberin der Zeitschrift Arizona Highways. Die ersten literarischen Versuche von Gordon und Mildred Gordon reichen in ihre Studentenzeit zurück. Nach den ersten erfolgreichen Veröffentlichungen erschienen ihre Werke fast ausschließlich in Gemeinschaftsarbeit. Nachdem Mildred Gordon 1979 gestorben war, heiratete Gordon Gordon am 16. März 1980 in zweiter Ehe Mary Dorr. (de)

  • The Gordons were crime fiction authors Gordon Gordon (born March 12, 1906, Anderson, Indiana – died March 14, 2002), and his wife, Mildred Nixon Gordon (born June 24, 1912, Kansas – died February 3, 1979, Tucson, Arizona). Both attended the University of Arizona where they met and later married in 1932. They wrote numerous crime fiction novels, some of which were filmed. Many of these feature fictional protagonist FBI agent John "Rip" Ripley (as noted below). After they learned that the screenwriter of Make Haste to Live received $40,000 while they, the authors, only received $5,000, the Gordons insisted on writing the screenplays for their books being filmed. Gordon was an editor of the Tucson Citizen newspaper and a publicist with 20th Century Fox from 1935 to 1942, and later served as a Federal Bureau of Investigation counter-intelligence agent during World War II for three years. Mildred Gordon was a teacher and an editor for Arizona Highways magazine. She worked for United Press and wrote The Little Man Who Wasn't There (1946).Mildred can be heard as a contestant on the 21st March 1951 edition of You Bet Your Life. After Mildred's death in 1979, Gordon married Mary Dorr (1918–2004) on March 16, 1980. They wrote (1983) and (1998). Gordon and Dorr created the Excellence in Media Angel Awards. (en)
