A Golden Globe and two other major film awards given to the late film director Delbert Mann were donated to Vanderbilt University's library, InsideVandy.com reported.

Mann's children gave the Jean and Alexander Heard Library a 1979 Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Made for Television for "All Quiet on the Western Front", a Screen Directors Guild Award and Palme d'Or Award for the 1955 feature film "Marty."

"We are so pleased that Vanderbilt has received a Golden Globe," Connie Vinita Dowell, dean of libraries at Vanderbilt, said in a statement. "We will be thinking during Sunday's awards show about how Delbert Mann and his family felt on that occasion many years ago when his name was called."

Mann, who graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1941, has served on the school's Board of Trust, and established the Fred Coe Artist-in-Residence-in-Theatre program. He also donated a number of his papers and manuscripts to Vanderbilt's library.

"Mann's 1971 decision to donate his papers to Vanderbilt University was critical to the development of the manuscripts program in Special Collections," university officials said in a statement.

He continued to donate materials and encourage others to donate until his death in 2007.

During his career, Mann has worked with many popular and talents film stars such as Humphrey Bogart, Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, Michael Caine and George C. Scott. He also received two Academy Awards for the film "Marty" for Best motion Picture and Best Director.

University officials said the film awards will become part of the Delbert Mann Papers, which consist of materials from film and television productions, including scripts, publicity, reviews, scrapbooks, correspondence and more.

Mann's awards will be on display next spring as part of the library's exhibition "Stage and Screen: The Star Quality of Vanderbilt's Performing Arts Collections."
