Larry Gelbart (1928-2009) was one of many talented writers to work on Sid Caesar’s television show in the fifties. He went on to win an Emmy as the co-creator of M*A*S*H and to write about 40 episodes from the show’s first four seasons. His film screenplays included Oh, God!, Neighbors, and Tootsie (which was Oscar-nominated), and he won two Tonys for Best Book of a Musical, for A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and City of Angels.
