We've lost another Brooklyn boy made good recently -- Walter Bernstein, the legendary screenwriter of movies like Fail Safe and Paris Blues, has died at the age of 101.
Bernstein had a long career not only as a screenwriter but also a screenwriting teacher at NYU and as a director. He served the country in World War II and was, most notably, a survivor of the horrible Hollywood Blacklist. He turned his experience of writing scripts and then getting them produced by others in the 1976 he wrote called The Front starring Woody Allen.
A true legend. RIP.
