Oscar-winning screenwriter Marshall Brickman, known for his collaborations with Woody Allen and contributions to the Broadway musical 'Jersey Boys' and Johnny Carson's sketches, has passed away at 85 in Manhattan. Brickman co-wrote acclaimed films such as 'Annie Hall,' 'Manhattan,' and 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' with Allen, with 'Annie Hall' earning an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
