Marshall Brickman (born August 25, 1941 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is an Academy Award winning screenwriter, best known for his collaborations with Woody Allen. He is also known for being an excellent banjo player together with Eric Weissberg back in the 1960s.
Biography
After attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he became a member of Folk act The Tarriers in 1962, recruited by former classmate Eric Weissberg. Upon the disbanding of The Tarriers in 1965, Brickman joined The New Journeymen with John Phillips and Michelle Phillips who later had success with The Mamas & Papas. He left The New Journeymen in order to pursue a career as a writer, initially writing for television in the 1960s, including Candid Camera, The Tonight Show, The Dick Cavett Show. It was during this time that he met Allen, with whom he would collaborate on several 1970s film scripts, including Sleeper, Annie Hall (which won the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award), and Manhattan.
Brickman directed several of his own scripts in the 1980s, including Simon, Lovesick, The Manhattan Project, and Sister Mary Explains it All, none of which were commercial successes. He reunited with Allen in 1993 to write Manhattan Murder Mystery.
His latest venture is the hit Broadway musical Jersey Boys. Along with partner Rick Elice, Mr. Brickman wrote the book.
