This director/writer/actor/producer is known for a number of high grossing comedies. He got his start on a show that also gave a start to a lot of successful comedic writing and/or directing careers.
Despite a seemingly long lasting happy marriage, this multi-talent always kept a few women on payroll for “services”. He liked blondes, specifically women that resembled a character in one of his earliest films. That film was later both made into a Broadway production and then remade as a film.

ReplyDeleteI thought the marriage was a bearding arrangement with Bancrort
ReplyDelete@Tricia, I thought that too!
ReplyDeleteDeffo Mel Brooks. Who most people forget - on this weekend of all weekends, was a veteran who landed at Normandy and fought hand to hand at the Battle of the Bulge. He gets a pass for that never mind his wonderful movies.
ReplyDelete@Vic, Yeah Europeans always love Americans whenever the Germans show up 😅

ReplyDeleteThis blind sounds like written in past tense so probably Mel Brooks since he's really not active anymore (although still alive.)
ReplyDeleteMy Dad took me to see Silent Movie. I think I was 9. There's the scene when Bernadette Peters' poster was revealed in the boardroom and the table rose. My Dad laughed so hard. I told him I didn't get it. He said I would some day.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Mel for this.
Adam Sandler - Billy Madison, Blonde - Bridgette Wilson

ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to see a Young Frankenstein screening where Mel Brooks did a Q and A session afterwards. He was hilarious. Someone asked if he wears boxers or briefs. Mel answered "Depends!"
