Gerard David Schine, better known as G. David Schine (September 11, 1927 - June 19, 1996), received national attention when he became a central figure in the Army-McCarthy Hearings of 1954.

Anti-communism and Army-McCarthy
After the hearings, Schine left politics and declined to comment on the episode for the rest of his life. He remained active in the private sector as a businessman and entrepreneur, working in the hotel, music, and film industries, and was a founding member of the Young Presidents' Organization. Schine was executive producer of the 1971 film The French Connection, which was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture. Shortly afterwards, Schine was involved with chart topping music that achieved Billboard gold and platinum and Cash Box #1, by The DeFranco Family. Schine's company Schine Music would also provide songs to Lou Rawls and Bobby Sherman, among others. A musician himself, Schine had music he had written published and at one point guest conducted the Boston Pops Orchestra for Arthur Fiedler. Schine's post production video house in Hollywood, Studio Television Services, handled clients such as HBO, Disney, Orion, and MGM/UA. His publicly traded research and development company High Resolution Sciences for years endeavored to bring high definition to broadcast television.
Schine was killed in 1996 at the age of 68 in a private airplane accident in Los Angeles, California. His wife and one son were with him on the plane and all three perished.

After Army-McCarthy
Following Schine's death, Tony Kushner wrote a one act comedy play, G. David Schine in Hell. The play takes place on June 19, 1996 (the day Schine died), and portrays Schine as he arrives in hell, where he is reunited with Roy Cohn, Richard Nixon, Whittaker Chambers, and J. Edgar Hoover.
