RIP: Jack Rollins
Titan of the comedy industry guided the careers of Woody Allen, Robin Williams and many more.
Comedy was in the cards for Jack Rollins from the very beginning. From the New York Times obituary:
Jack Rollins was born Jacob Rabinowitz in Brooklyn around March 23, 1915, a date his parents agreed on years later because no one kept track.
The legendary talent manager and producer, who opened his one-man shop in 1951 and, together with Charles H. Joffe, went on to guide the careers of Harry Belafonte, Woody Allen, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Billy Crystal, David Letterman and others, passed away Thursday.
