Marshall Brickman, Oscar-Winning Co-Screenwriter of ‘Annie Hall,’ Dies at 85
Marshall Brickman, who won an Oscar for writing "Annie Hall" alongside Woody Allen and co-wrote "Sleeper" and "Manhattan," died Friday.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brickman was raised in Brooklyn and played in folk groups before starting his TV writing career. He was honored by the Writers Guild in 2006, and explained to Variety at the time why he had gravitated to the stage after writing movie screenplays. ‘It was just too culturally specific.’ It survived in the mid-’70s, he says, because ‘United Artists was this oasis between the old decaying studio system and the new corporate Hollywood,'” he said in 2006.
