Marshall Brickman was born on August 25, 1941 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is an Academy Award winning screenwriter, best known for his collaborations with Woody Allen. After attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he became a member of Folk act »The Tarriers« in 1962 and in 1965 he joined »The New Journeymen« with John Phillips and Michelle Phillips who later had success with »The Mamas & The Papas«. He left the band in order to pursue a career as a writer, initially writing for television in the 1960s.
