Remembering Bernie Brillstein
By Behind The Scenes TV on Aug 14, 2008 in Producers
Bernie Brillstein wasn’t a household name like Bernie Mac or Isaac Hayes — as a talent manager and producer, his work was all strictly behind the scenes — but his vast impact on entertainment shouldn’t be forgotten amid this weekend’s tragic showbiz losses. Brillstein, who died Thursday night at 77, had a hand in countless classic TV and film projects, from Sesame Street to Saturday Night Live to The Sopranos, and he guided the careers of numerous top stars and scriptwriters.
