Oscar Winning Screenwriter Marshall Brickman no more

A set back to Hollywood in the passing away of Oscar Winning Screenwriter
Marshall Brickman.
He was 85.

He was the twinning screenwriter behind some of Woody Allen’s most iconic films and the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys.
His daughter, Sophie Brickman, confirmed the news. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

Brickman’s legacy is marked by a diverse and remarkable career that spanned film, television, and Broadway. He is perhaps best acknowledged for his prolific collaboration with Woody Allen, beginning in the early 1970s. Their partnership earned some of Allen’s most acclaimed works, including the 1977 classic Annie Hall, the 1979 film Manhattan, and the 1993 Manhattan Murder Mystery. It was Annie Hall, with its witty dialogue and groundbreaking structure, that earned Brickman and Allen the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

In his acceptance speech for the Oscar, Brickman famously referenced one of Annie Hall’s most famous lines, quipping: He has been out here a week, and still has guilt when he makes a right turn on a red light. He later described the film in an interview with Vanity Fair, saying that If the film is worth anything, it gives a very particular specific image of what it was like to be alive in New York at that time in that particular social-economic stratum.

RIP Marshall Brickman
