Carl Gottlieb Life

Carl Gottlieb (born March 18, 1938) is an American screenwriter, comedian, and executive.

He is best known for co-writing Jaws and its first two sequels, as well as directing the 1981 film Caveman.

Early life

Gottlieb, the son of Elizabeth, a medical administrative assistant, and Sergius M. Gottlieb, an engineer, were born in New York City to a middle-class Jewish family.

Gottlieb studied drama at Syracuse University, where he befriended Larry Hankin. After graduating, he was drafted into the Army and spent as an entertainment specialist in the Special Services division from 1961 to 1963. Following his discharge, he became a member of the San Francisco improvisational comedy troupe "The Committee" later in the 1960s. The committee's Session Film was one of several documentaries made by the committee.

Carl Gottlieb Career

Career

He began writing comedies for television, contributing to The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Music Scene, The Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, and The Odd Couple, which received an Emmy Award in 1969. In 1972, he appeared on Ken Berry's Wow Show variety summer television show. M*A*S*H and the film Clueless were among Robert Altman's minor acting appearances.

Gottlieb's two autobiographies, 1989's Long Time Gone and 2006's Since Then, were also co-authored by David Crosby.

In Jaws, Gottlieb was hired as an actor to play Harry Meadows, the editor of the local newspaper. Steven Spielberg, his buddy, had recruited him to rewrite the script, giving the script more depth, especially humor. Meadows (who also appears in the Town Hall corridor and the Tiger Shark scene) was reduced in his redrafts.

He wrote The Jaws Logbook, a memoir about the film's notoriously difficult making of it. Bryan Singer described it as "like a little movie director's bible."

He was recruited under similar circumstances to appear in the Jaws 2 filmplay. Gottlieb co-wrote the screenplays for The Jerk, in which he appeared Iron Balls McGinty and Jaws 3-D, as well as other Jaws-related events, such as interviews (including the documentary The Shark Is Still Working) and attending JawsFest on Martha's Vineyard in June 2005.
