Manager/producer Bernie Brillstein, considered an icon of the television industry died last Thursday of chronic pulmonary disease. He was 77. As head of his own talent management agency, Brillstein Co., Bernie’s roster of stars and shows that he discovered and developed was unparalleled, including Jim Henson, Gilda Radner, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd; as well as many film stars as Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler, Geena Davis, Nicolas Cage, and Martin Short. Bernie’s company was one of the first in the 1980s to delve into television production with shows developed around his clients including ALF, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. Later in the 1990s in partnership with Brad Grey, Brillstein-Grey Television developed The Sopranos, Just Shoot Me, NewsRadio, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and The Larry Sanders Show. Bernie is survived by his wife, Carrie; five children and one grandson. Rather than sending flowers, the family requests donations sent to the Barlow Respiratory Research Center in Los Angeles.
