Itinerant strummer who co-wrote Annie Hall

Marshall Brickman played banjo in Moscow and gave Bob Dylan his first roof in New York before he met Woody Allen, who changed his life. ‘: Woody Allen. ‘I would stand at the back of The Bitter End and listen to this guy who was getting no laughs,’ he recalled.

The pair wrote three movies together – Sleeper (1973), Annie Hall (1977) and Manhattan (1979). Brickman also co-wrote the Broadway musical The Addams Family (2010).
