Career

After graduating from Southern Methodist University in the Spring of 1959, Harwood immediately began working as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal at the White House.[1] He left the journal in 1960, and spent the next ten years working as a television producer and writer in San Francisco.[1] From 1969 through 1975 he worked as the part time San Francisco based reporter for Variety, and in 1975 he moved to Los Angeles to take a full time position with that publication.[1] For next thirteen years he wrote film criticism, columns on show business, and financial news stories for Variety in L.A.[1] In 1988 he became Variety's first full time journalist based in San Francisco since the 1920s.[1] He continued in that role until his death five years later of cancer at the age of 55.[1]

In addition to his work for Variety, Harwood co-authored the cookbook Soul Food with Ed Callahan in 1969.
