Jerry Belson

Highest Rated: 83% Modern Romance (1981)

Lowest Rated: 17% For Keeps (1988)

Birthday: Jul 8, 1938

Birthplace: El Centro, California, USA

Emmy-winning TV writer ("The Dick Van Dyke Show") and producer ("The Odd Couple") who crossed over to film in 1968, writing and producing the Debbie Reynolds vehicle "How Sweet it Is!" (1968) with partner Garry Marshall. Perhaps his finest work as a screenwriter came with "Smile" (1975), a marvelously pointed satire of the California beauty pageant scene.
