As a follower of the intricate world of cinema and television, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Marshall Brickman. His life was nothing short of a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of creativity, humor, and resilience.
On Friday, Marshall Brickman, the Academy Award-winning co-writer of “Annie Hall” along with Woody Allen and a frequent collaborator on projects such as “Sleeper,” “Manhattan,” and “Manhattan Murder Mystery,” passed away in Manhattan at the age of 85.
His daughter Sophie confirmed his death to the New York Times.
Besides penning hit Broadway musicals such as “Jersey Boys” and “The Addams Family,” Brickman began his career writing for “Candid Camera” and “The Tonight Show,” where he crafted the iconic Johnny Carson character, “Carnac the Magnificent.” He was also involved in the initial scripting of “The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence,” which eventually transformed into “The Muppet Show.
Raised in Brooklyn after being born in Rio de Janeiro, Brickman had a background in folk music groups prior to embarking on his television writing journey.
He tried his hand at directing with “Simon,” “Lovesick” and “The Manhattan Project.”
Among the other films he wrote were “For the Boys,” “Intersection” and “The Manhattan Project.”
He was honored by the Writers Guild in 2006.
Besides his daughter Sophie, Brickman also leaves behind his editor and producer wife, Nina, his daughter Jessica, as well as five grandkids.
