Sidney Aaron "Paddy" Chayefsky (/ˌtʃaɪˈ(j)ɛfski/; January 29, 1923 – August 1, 1981) was an American playwright, <a href="Screenwriter" title="Screenwriter">screenwriter</a> and novelist. He is the only person to have won three solo <a href="Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Awards</a> for writing both <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Adapted_Screenplay" title="Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay">Adapted</a> and <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Screenplay" title="Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay">Original</a> screenplays.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a>

He was one of the most renowned dramatists of the <a href="Golden_Age_of_Television" title="Golden Age of Television">Golden Age of Television</a>. His intimate, realistic scripts provided a naturalistic style of television drama for the 1950s, dramatizing the lives of ordinary Americans.<a href="#cite_note-books.google.com-2">[2]</a> <a href="Martin_Gottfried" title="Martin Gottfried">Martin Gottfried</a> wrote in All His Jazz that Chayefsky was "the most successful graduate of television's <a href="Slice_of_life" title="Slice of life">slice of life</a> school of naturalism."<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a>

Following his critically acclaimed teleplays, Chayefsky became a noted playwright and novelist. As a screenwriter, he received three <a href="Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Awards</a> for <a href="Marty_(film)" title="Marty (film)">Marty</a> (1955), <a href="The_Hospital" title="The Hospital">The Hospital</a> (1971) and <a href="Network_(1976_film)" title="Network (1976 film)">Network</a> (1976). The movie Marty was based on his own television drama about two lonely people finding love. Network was a satire of the television industry and The Hospital was also satiric. Film historian <a href="David_Thomson_(film_critic)" title="David Thomson (film critic)">David Thomson</a> called The Hospital "years ahead of its time. … Few films capture the disaster of America's self-destructive idealism so well."<a href="#cite_note-Thomson-4">[4]</a> His screenplay for Network is often regarded as his <a href="Masterpiece" title="Masterpiece">masterpiece</a>,<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> and has been hailed as "the kind of literate, darkly funny and breathtakingly prescient material that prompts many to claim it as the greatest screenplay of the 20th century."<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a>

Chayefsky's early stories were frequently influenced by the author's childhood in <a href="The_Bronx" title="The Bronx">The Bronx</a>. Chayefsky was part of the inaugural class of inductees into the <a href="Academy_of_Television_Arts_%26_Sciences" title="Academy of Television Arts & Sciences">Academy of Television Arts & Sciences</a>' <a href="Television_Hall_of_Fame" title="Television Hall of Fame">Television Hall of Fame</a>. He received this honor three years after his death, in 1984.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2></div>

Sidney Aaron Chayefsky was born in <a href="The_Bronx" title="The Bronx">the Bronx</a>, <a href="New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, to <a href="History_of_the_Jews_in_Russia" title="History of the Jews in Russia">Russian-Jewish</a> immigrants Harry and Gussie (Stuchevsky) Chayefsky. Harry Chayefsky's father served for twenty-five years in the Russian army so the family was allowed to live in Moscow, while Gussie Stuchevsky lived in a village near <a href="Odessa" class="mw-redirect" title="Odessa">Odessa</a>. Harry and Gussie immigrated to the United States in 1907 and 1909 respectively.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a>

Harry Chayefsky worked for a New Jersey milk distribution company in which he eventually took a controlling interest and renamed Dellwood Dairies. The family lived in <a href="Perth_Amboy%2C_New_Jersey" title="Perth Amboy, New Jersey">Perth Amboy, New Jersey</a>, and <a href="Mount_Vernon%2C_New_York" title="Mount Vernon, New York">Mount Vernon, New York</a>, moving temporarily to Bailey Avenue in the <a href="West_Bronx" title="West Bronx">West Bronx</a> at the time of Sidney Chayefsky's birth while a larger house in Mount Vernon was being completed.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> He had two older brothers, William and Winn.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

As a toddler Chayefsky showed signs of being gifted, and could "speak intelligently" at two and a half. His father suffered a financial reversal during the <a href="Wall_Street_Crash_of_1929" class="mw-redirect" title="Wall Street Crash of 1929">Wall Street Crash of 1929</a>, and the family moved back to the Bronx. Chayefsky attended a public <a href="Elementary_school" class="mw-redirect" title="Elementary school">elementary school</a>. As a boy, Chayefsky was noted for his verbal ability, which won him friends.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> He attended <a href="DeWitt_Clinton_High_School" title="DeWitt Clinton High School">DeWitt Clinton High School</a>,<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> where he served as editor of the school's literary magazine The Magpie. He graduated from Clinton in 1939 at age 16 and attended the <a href="City_College_of_New_York" title="City College of New York">City College of New York</a>, graduating with a degree in social sciences in 1943.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> While at City College he played for the semi-professional football team Kingsbridge Trojans. He studied languages at <a href="Fordham_University" title="Fordham University">Fordham University</a> during his Army service.<a href="#cite_note-Fisher-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Military_service">Military service</h3></div>

In 1943, two weeks before his graduation from City College, Chayefsky was drafted into the <a href="United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>,<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> and served in combat in Europe. While in the Army he adopted the nickname "Paddy." The nickname was given spontaneously when he was awakened at dawn for <a href="KP_duty" title="KP duty">kitchen duty</a>. Although actually Jewish, he asked to be excused to attend <a href="Mass_(liturgy)" title="Mass (liturgy)">Mass</a>. "Sure you do, <a href="List_of_ethnic_slurs#P" title="List of ethnic slurs">Paddy</a>," said the officer, and the name stuck.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

Chayefsky was wounded by a <a href="Land_mine" title="Land mine">land mine</a> while serving with the <a href="104th_Infantry_Division_(United_States)" title="104th Infantry Division (United States)">104th Infantry Division</a> in the <a href="European_theatre_of_World_War_II" title="European theatre of World War II">European Theatre</a> near <a href="Aachen" title="Aachen">Aachen</a>, <a href="Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>. He was awarded the <a href="Purple_Heart" title="Purple Heart">Purple Heart</a>. The wound left him badly scarred, contributing to his shyness around women.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> While recovering from his injuries in the Army Hospital near <a href="Cirencester" title="Cirencester">Cirencester</a>, England, he wrote the book and lyrics to a musical comedy, No T.O. for Love. First produced in 1945 by the <a href="Special_Services_(entertainment)" title="Special Services (entertainment)">Special Services Unit</a>, the show toured European Army bases for two years.<a href="#cite_note-Fisher-14">[14]</a>

The London opening of No T.O. for Love at the <a href="Scala_Theatre" title="Scala Theatre">Scala Theatre</a> in the <a href="West_End_theatre" title="West End theatre">West End</a> was the beginning of Chayefsky's theatrical career. During the London production of this musical, Chayefsky encountered <a href="Joshua_Logan" title="Joshua Logan">Joshua Logan</a>, a future collaborator, and <a href="Garson_Kanin" title="Garson Kanin">Garson Kanin</a>, who invited Chayefsky to collaborate with him on a documentary of the Allied invasion, <a href="The_True_Glory" title="The True Glory">The True Glory</a>.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career">Career</h2></div>

Returning to the United States, Chayefsky worked in his uncle's print shop, Regal Press, an experience which provided a background for his later teleplay, Printer's Measure (1953), as well as his story for the movie As Young as You Feel (1951). Kanin enabled Chayefsky to spend time working on his second play, Put Them All Together (later known as M is for Mother), but it was never produced. Producers Mike Gordon and Jerry Bressler gave him a junior writer's contract. He wrote a story, The Great American Hoax, which sold to <a href="Good_Housekeeping" title="Good Housekeeping">Good Housekeeping</a> but was never published.

Chayefsky went to Hollywood in 1947 with the aim of becoming a screenwriter. His friends Garson Kanin and <a href="Ruth_Gordon" title="Ruth Gordon">Ruth Gordon</a> found him a job in the accounting office of <a href="Universal_Pictures" title="Universal Pictures">Universal Pictures</a>. He studied acting at the Actor's Lab and Kanin got him a bit part in the film <a href="A_Double_Life_(1947_film)" title="A Double Life (1947 film)">A Double Life</a>. He returned to New York, submitted scripts, and was hired as an apprentice scriptwriter by Universal. His script outlines were not accepted and he was fired after six weeks. After returning to New York, Chayefsky wrote the outline for a play that he submitted to the William Morris Agency. The agency, treating it as a novella, submitted it to Good Housekeeping magazine. Movie rights were purchased by Twentieth Century Fox, Chayefsky was hired to write the script, and he returned to Hollywood in 1948.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> But Chayefsky was discouraged by the studio system, which involved rewrites and relegated writers to inferior roles, so he quit and moved back to New York, vowing not to return.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

During the late 1940s, he began working full-time on short stories and radio scripts, and during that period, he was a gagwriter for radio host <a href="Robert_Q._Lewis" title="Robert Q. Lewis">Robert Q. Lewis</a>. Chayefsky later recalled, "I sold some plays to men who had an uncanny ability not to raise money."<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_1950s">Early 1950s</h3></div>

During 1951–52, Chayefsky wrote adaptations for radio's <a href="The_United_States_Steel_Hour" title="The United States Steel Hour">Theater Guild on the Air</a>: The Meanest Man in the World (with <a href="James_Stewart" title="James Stewart">James Stewart</a>), <a href="Cavalcade_of_America" title="Cavalcade of America">Cavalcade of America</a>, Tommy (with <a href="Van_Heflin" title="Van Heflin">Van Heflin</a> and Ruth Gordon and Over 21 (with <a href="Wally_Cox" title="Wally Cox">Wally Cox</a>).

His play The Man Who Made the Mountain Shake was noticed by <a href="Elia_Kazan" title="Elia Kazan">Elia Kazan</a>, and his wife, <a href="Molly_Kazan" title="Molly Kazan">Molly Kazan</a>, helped Chayefsky with revisions. It was retitled Fifth From Garibaldi but was never produced. In 1951, the movie <a href="As_Young_as_You_Feel" title="As Young as You Feel">As Young as You Feel</a> was adapted from a Chayefsky story.

He moved into television with scripts for <a href="Danger_(TV_series)" title="Danger (TV series)">Danger</a>, The Gulf Playhouse and <a href="Manhunt_(1959_TV_series)" title="Manhunt (1959 TV series)">Manhunt</a>. <a href="The_Philco_Television_Playhouse" title="The Philco Television Playhouse">Philco Television Playhouse</a> producer <a href="Fred_Coe" title="Fred Coe">Fred Coe</a> saw the Danger and Manhunt episodes and enlisted Chayefsky to adapt the story It Happened on the Brooklyn Subway about a photographer on a <a href="New_York_City_Subway" title="New York City Subway">New York City Subway</a> train who reunites a concentration camp survivor with his long-lost wife. Chayefsky's first script to be telecast was a 1949 adaptation of <a href="Budd_Schulberg" title="Budd Schulberg">Budd Schulberg</a>'s <a href="What_Makes_Sammy_Run%3F" title="What Makes Sammy Run?">What Makes Sammy Run?</a> for <a href="The_Philco_Television_Playhouse" title="The Philco Television Playhouse">Philco</a>.

Since he had always wanted to use a synagogue as backdrop, he wrote Holiday Song, telecast in 1952 and also in 1954. He submitted more work to <a href="The_Philco_Television_Playhouse" title="The Philco Television Playhouse">Philco</a>, including <a href="Printer's_Measure" title="Printer's Measure">Printer's Measure</a>, <a href="The_Bachelor_Party" title="The Bachelor Party">The Bachelor Party</a> (1953) and The Big Deal (1953).

The seventh season of Philco Television Playhouse began September 19, 1954 with <a href="E._G._Marshall" title="E. G. Marshall">E. G. Marshall</a> and <a href="Eva_Marie_Saint" title="Eva Marie Saint">Eva Marie Saint</a> in Chayefsky's Middle of the Night, a play which relocated to Broadway theaters 15 months later; In 1956, Middle of the Night opened on <a href="Broadway_theatre" title="Broadway theatre">Broadway</a> with <a href="Edward_G._Robinson" title="Edward G. Robinson">Edward G. Robinson</a> and <a href="Gena_Rowlands" title="Gena Rowlands">Gena Rowlands</a>, and its success led to a national tour. It was filmed by <a href="Columbia_Pictures" title="Columbia Pictures">Columbia Pictures</a> in 1959 with <a href="Kim_Novak" title="Kim Novak">Kim Novak</a> and <a href="Fredric_March" title="Fredric March">Fredric March</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Marty_and_fame">Marty and fame</h3></div>

In 1953, Chayefsky wrote <a href="Marty_(teleplay)" class="mw-redirect" title="Marty (teleplay)">Marty</a>, which was premiered on <a href="The_Philco_Television_Playhouse" title="The Philco Television Playhouse">The Philco Television Playhouse</a>, with <a href="Rod_Steiger" title="Rod Steiger">Rod Steiger</a> and <a href="Nancy_Marchand" title="Nancy Marchand">Nancy Marchand</a>. Marty is about a decent, hard-working Bronx butcher, pining for the company of a woman in his life but despairing of ever finding true love in a relationship. Fate pairs him with a plain, shy schoolteacher named Clara whom he rescues from the embarrassment of being abandoned by her blind date in a local dance hall. The production, the actors and Chayefsky's naturalistic dialogue received much critical acclaim and influenced subsequent live television dramas.

Chayefsky was initially uninterested when producer <a href="Harold_Hecht" title="Harold Hecht">Harold Hecht</a> sought to buy film rights for Marty for <a href="Hecht-Hill-Lancaster" title="Hecht-Hill-Lancaster">Hecht-Hill-Lancaster</a>. Chayefsky, still upset by his treatment years before, demanded creative control, consultation on casting, and the same director as in the TV version, <a href="Delbert_Mann" title="Delbert Mann">Delbert Mann</a>. Surprisingly, Hecht agreed to all of Chayefsky's demands, and named Chayefsky "associate producer" of the film. Chayefsky then requested and was granted "co-director" status, so that he could take over production if Mann were fired.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a>

The screenplay was little changed from the teleplay, but with Clara's role expanded. Chayefsky was involved in all casting decisions and had a <a href="Cameo_appearance" title="Cameo appearance">cameo role</a>, playing one of Marty's friends, unseen, in a car. Actress <a href="Betsy_Blair" title="Betsy Blair">Betsy Blair</a>, playing Clara, faced difficulties because of her affiliation with left-wing causes, and United Artists demanded that she be removed. Chayefsky refused, and her husband <a href="Gene_Kelly" title="Gene Kelly">Gene Kelly</a> also intervened on her behalf. Blair remained in the cast.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a>

In September 1954, after most of the movie had been filmed, the studio ceased production due to accounting and financial difficulties.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> Producer Harold Hecht encountered resistance to the Marty project from his partner <a href="Burt_Lancaster" title="Burt Lancaster">Burt Lancaster</a> from the beginning, with Lancaster "only tolerating" it.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> The film had a limited publicity budget. But reviews were glowing, and the film won the <a href="Palme_d'Or" title="Palme d'Or">Palme d'Or</a> at the 1955 <a href="Cannes_Film_Festival" title="Cannes Film Festival">Cannes Film Festival</a> and the <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture" title="Academy Award for Best Picture">Academy Award for Best Picture</a>, greatly boosting Chayefsky's career.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>

After his success with Marty, Chayefsky continued to write for TV and theater as well as films. Chayefsky's <a href="The_Great_American_Hoax" title="The Great American Hoax">The Great American Hoax</a> was broadcast May 15, 1957 during the second season of <a href="The_20th_Century_Fox_Hour" title="The 20th Century Fox Hour">The 20th Century Fox Hour</a>.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a>

His TV play The Bachelor Party was bought by United Artists and The Catered Affair was acquired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. <a href="Gore_Vidal" title="Gore Vidal">Gore Vidal</a> was hired to write the screenplay by MGM, while Chayefsky wrote the Bachelor Party. <a href="The_Catered_Affair" title="The Catered Affair">Catered Affair</a> did well in Europe but poorly in U.S. theaters, and was not a success.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a>

<a href="The_Bachelor_Party" title="The Bachelor Party">Bachelor Party</a> was budgeted at $750,000, twice Marty's, but received far less acclaim and was viewed by United Artists as artistically inferior. The studio chose instead to promote another Hecht-Hill-Lancaster film, <a href="Sweet_Smell_of_Success" title="Sweet Smell of Success">Sweet Smell of Success</a>, which it believed to be better. Bachelor Party was a commercial failure, and never made a profit.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a>

Chayefsky wrote a film adaptation of his Broadway play Middle of the Night, originally writing the female lead role for <a href="Marilyn_Monroe" title="Marilyn Monroe">Marilyn Monroe</a>. She passed on the part, which went to <a href="Kim_Novak" title="Kim Novak">Kim Novak</a>. He also commenced work on <a href="The_Goddess_(1958_film)" title="The Goddess (1958 film)">The Goddess</a>, the story of the rise and fall of a movie star resembling Monroe.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> The star of The Goddess, <a href="Kim_Stanley" title="Kim Stanley">Kim Stanley</a>, despised the film and refused to publicize it. He and Stanley clashed during production of the film, in which Chayefsky served as producer as well as screenwriter. Despite her requests, Chayefsky refused to change any aspect of the script. Monroe's husband, <a href="Arthur_Miller" title="Arthur Miller">Arthur Miller</a> believed that the film was based on his wife's life and protested to Chayefsky. The film received positive reviews, and Chayefsky received an Academy Award nomination for his script.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> A New York Herald Tribune reviewer called the film "a substantial advance in the work of Chayefsky."<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a>

Chayefsky denied for years that the film was based on Monroe, but Chayefsky's biographer Shaun Considine observes that not only was she the prototype but the film "captured her longing and despair" accurately.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a>

In 1958 Chayefsky began adapting Middle of the Night as a film, and he decided not to use the star of the Broadway version, Edward G. Robinson, with whom he had clashed, choosing instead Fredric March. <a href="Elizabeth_Taylor" title="Elizabeth Taylor">Elizabeth Taylor</a> initially agreed to appear in the female lead, but dropped out. Kim Novak was ultimately cast in the part. The film was chosen as the American entry at the Cannes Film Festival, but reviews were mixed and the film had only a short run in theaters.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a>

<a href="The_Tenth_Man_(Chayefsky_play)" title="The Tenth Man (Chayefsky play)">The Tenth Man</a> (1959) marked Chayefsky's second Broadway theatrical success, garnering 1960 <a href="Tony_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Tony Award">Tony Award</a> nominations for Best Play, Best Director (<a href="Tyrone_Guthrie" title="Tyrone Guthrie">Tyrone Guthrie</a>) and Best Scenic Design. Guthrie received another nomination for Chayefsky's <a href="Gideon_(play)" title="Gideon (play)">Gideon</a>, as did actor <a href="Fredric_March" title="Fredric March">Fredric March</a>. Chayefsky's final Broadway theatrical production, a play based on the life of <a href="Joseph_Stalin" title="Joseph Stalin">Joseph Stalin</a>, <a href="The_Passion_of_Josef_D." title="The Passion of Josef D.">The Passion of Josef D</a>, received unfavorable reviews and ran for only 15 performances.<a href="#cite_note-ibdb-36">[36]</a>

Although Chayefsky was an early writer for the television medium, he eventually abandoned it, "decrying the lack of interest the networks demonstrated toward quality programming". As a result, during the course of his career, he constantly toyed with the idea of lampooning the television industry, which he succeeded in doing with Network.<a href="#cite_note-Guide-37">[37]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Americanization_of_Emily">The Americanization of Emily</h3></div>

Although Chayefsky wished only to do original screenplays, he was persuaded by producer <a href="Martin_Ransohoff" title="Martin Ransohoff">Martin Ransohoff</a> to adapt <a href="William_Bradford_Huie" title="William Bradford Huie">William Bradford Huie</a>'s 1959 novel that was eventually filmed with the book's title <a href="The_Americanization_of_Emily" title="The Americanization of Emily">The Americanization of Emily</a> (1964).<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> The novel dealt with interservice rivalries prior to the <a href="Normandy_landings" title="Normandy landings">Normandy landings</a> during <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, with a love story at the center of the plot. Chayefsky agreed to adapting the novel but only if he could fundamentally change the story. He made the titular character more sophisticated, but refusing to be "Americanized" by accepting material goods.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a>

<a href="William_Wyler" title="William Wyler">William Wyler</a> was initially brought in as the director, but his relationship with Chayefsky deteriorated when he sought to change the script. <a href="William_Holden" title="William Holden">William Holden</a> was initially cast in the male lead, but that led to conflict when he asked that <a href="Julie_Andrews" title="Julie Andrews">Julie Andrews</a> be replaced by his then-girlfriend, <a href="Capucine" title="Capucine">Capucine</a>. <a href="James_Garner" title="James Garner">James Garner</a>, adept at comedy with sophisticated dialogue but originally slated to play a supporting role, replaced Holden and delivered a critically acclaimed performance while <a href="James_Coburn" title="James Coburn">James Coburn</a> took over the part originally meant for Garner.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> Both James Garner and Julie Andrews always maintained that The Americanization of Emily was their favorite film of their own work.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-Charlie_Rose-42">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> The film opened in August 1964 to superlative reviews but was a box office failure, possibly due to its extremely controversial anti-war stance at the dawn of the <a href="Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> The studio changed the title in the middle of its release, calling it Emily...she's super! to avoid confusing part of the public with a seven-syllable word in the title. The film has since been praised as a "<a href="Avant-garde" title="Avant-garde">vanguard</a> anti-war film."<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1960s_'fallow_period'">1960s 'fallow period'</h3></div>

The failure of Americanization of Emily and Josef D. on Broadway shook Chayefsky's confidence, and was the beginning of a what his biographer Shaun Considine calls a "fallow period." He agreed to do novel adaptations, which he had previously shunned, and was hired to adapt the <a href="Richard_Jessup" title="Richard Jessup">Richard Jessup</a> novel The Cincinnati Kid. Director <a href="Sam_Peckinpah" title="Sam Peckinpah">Sam Peckinpah</a> rejected the script, and Chayefsky was fired.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> Peckinpah was replaced by <a href="Norman_Jewison" title="Norman Jewison">Norman Jewison</a> shortly after the <a href="The_Cincinnati_Kid" title="The Cincinnati Kid">film</a> began production.

Chayefsky worked for a time on adapting Huie's book Three Lives for Mississippi, about the murders of three civil rights workers in 1964, and in 1967 was hired to adapt the Broadway musical <a href="Paint_Your_Wagon_(musical)" title="Paint Your Wagon (musical)">Paint Your Wagon</a>. He was fired from the film after producing a script that <a href="Alan_Jay_Lerner" title="Alan Jay Lerner">Alan Jay Lerner</a>, the playwright and producer, felt lacked "a musical structure." Chayefsky had his name removed as screenwriter but remained as adapter.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Comeback_with_The_Hospital">Comeback with The Hospital</h3></div>

In 1969 and 1970. Chayefsky began to consider a film that would be set among the civil unrest taking place at the time. When his wife Susan received poor care at a hospital, he pitched to United Artists a story based at a hospital. To ensure that he had the same kind of creative control given to playwrights, he formed Simcha Productions, named after the Hebrew version of his given name, Sidney. He then commenced research, reading medical books and visiting hospitals.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a>

The leading character in the film, Dr. Herbert Bock, included many of Chayefsky's personal traits. Bock had been a "boy genius" who felt bitter and that his life was over. One of the monologues of <a href="George_C._Scott" title="George C. Scott">George C. Scott</a> as Bock in the film, in which Bock says he is miserable and considering suicide, was repeated verbatim from a conversation that Chayefsky had with a business associate during that time.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a>

The long speeches written for Bock and other characters by Chayefsky, later praised by critics, met resistance from United Artists executives during the making of the film. The script was described as "too talky" and containing excessive medical terminology. But Chayefsky, as producer, prevailed. He also vetoed the studio's suggestion that <a href="Walter_Matthau" title="Walter Matthau">Walter Matthau</a> or <a href="Burt_Lancaster" title="Burt Lancaster">Burt Lancaster</a> be hired for the lead role, insisting on Scott. Chayefsky worked on the dialogue with <a href="Diana_Rigg" title="Diana Rigg">Diana Rigg</a>, the female lead, but Scott rejected his input.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a>

After filming, Chayefsky spoke the opening narration after several actors were rejected for the job. It was supposed to be temporary, but became the one that was used in the film.<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> Although some initial reviews were negative, the film received rave reviews from leading critics, and was a box office hit. Chayefsky won an Academy Award for his script, and his career was revived.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Network">Network</h3></div>

Creating a story about a TV network had interested Chayefsky for a while. In 1968, he worked on a pilot script for a comedic TV series he called The Impostors or There's No Business, about "subversives who infiltrate a television network and undermine it from within."<a href="#cite_note-Itzkoff_article-53">[53]</a> In a script note, he wrote: "We are not dealing with a human institution. We are dealing with an enormous profit-making machine."<a href="#cite_note-Itzkoff_article-53">[53]</a> But the TV series was not pursued. Shaun Considine says the "opening hook" for the Network script came "when Chayefsky was watching a respected, supposedly learned TV anchor rattle off some scripted inanities on the evening news. 'Jesus, how can these guys live with themselves?'"<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> Chayefsky believed that TV news was desensitizing viewers to violence and murder, and that it was affecting the broadcasters. In 1974, a local <a href="Florida" title="Florida">Florida</a> news anchor, <a href="Christine_Chubbuck" title="Christine Chubbuck">Christine Chubbuck</a>, committed suicide during a broadcast.<a href="#cite_note-Teeman-55">[55]</a> Chayefsky asked his friend, <a href="NBC_News" title="NBC News">NBC News</a> anchor <a href="John_Chancellor" title="John Chancellor">John Chancellor</a>, if it was possible for an anchorman to go crazy on the air, and Chancellor replied, "Every day."<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> Within a week of that conversation, Chayefsky had written the rough draft of a script, centering on Howard Beale, an elderly, disillusioned anchor who announces he will commit suicide on the air.

Chayefsky researched the project by watching hours of television and consulting with NBC executive <a href="David_Tebet" title="David Tebet">David Tebet</a>, who allowed the writer to attend programming meetings. Chayefsky also gathered information at <a href="CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a> and met with <a href="Walter_Cronkite" title="Walter Cronkite">Walter Cronkite</a>. The completed script reflected the writer's research and his political opinion, prevalent at the time, that Arabs were "buying up" U.S. corporations.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> The "mad as hell" speech was a deeply personal statement encapsulating the core of Chayefsky's beliefs during the early 1970s. He later called it an easy speech to write as it expressed his view that people had a right to get mad.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a>

The script encountered difficulties because of film industry concerns that it was too tough on television. Ultimately it was decided, in a deal announced in July 1975, that Network would be a co-production of MGM and United Artists (UA), with Chayefsky having complete creative control. <a href="George_C._Scott" title="George C. Scott">George C. Scott</a> was offered the supporting role of Max Schumacher (Beale's friend and a traditional journalist representing integrity in the media) but rejected it, and the role went to <a href="William_Holden" title="William Holden">William Holden</a>.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> Chayefsky refused requests by MGM and UA to give the film a "softer" ending; the studios feared that the actual ending – with the Beale character assassinated at the order of network executives – would alienate audiences.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a>

Outside the expected negative reviews from TV network-based film critics, Network was a critical and box office success, winning ten Academy Award nominations, and Chayefsky won his third Academy Award, making him the only three-time solo recipient of a screenwriting Oscar (all the other three-time winners—<a href="Francis_Ford_Coppola" title="Francis Ford Coppola">Francis Ford Coppola</a>, <a href="Charles_Brackett" title="Charles Brackett">Charles Brackett</a>, <a href="Woody_Allen" title="Woody Allen">Woody Allen</a>, and <a href="Billy_Wilder" title="Billy Wilder">Billy Wilder</a>—shared at least one of their awards with co-writers). When <a href="Peter_Finch" title="Peter Finch">Peter Finch</a> <a href="List_of_posthumous_Academy_Award_winners_and_nominees" title="List of posthumous Academy Award winners and nominees">posthumously</a> won <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Actor" title="Academy Award for Best Actor">Best Actor</a> for playing Beale, Chayefsky was chosen by prior arrangement to accept on the late actor's behalf. But on the night of the awards, Chayefsky defied the show's producer, <a href="William_Friedkin" title="William Friedkin">William Friedkin</a>, and called Finch's wife Eletha to the stage to receive the Oscar.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a>

Network is said to have "presaged the advent of <a href="Reality_television" title="Reality television">reality television</a> by twenty years" and was a "sardonic satire" of the television industry, dealing with the "dehumanization of modern life."<a href="#cite_note-Thomson2-62">[62]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Altered_States">Altered States</h3></div>

After Network, Chayefsky explored an offer from <a href="Warren_Beatty" title="Warren Beatty">Warren Beatty</a> to write a film based on the life of <a href="John_Reed_(journalist)" title="John Reed (journalist)">John Reed</a> and his book <a href="Ten_Days_That_Shook_the_World" title="Ten Days That Shook the World">Ten Days That Shook the World</a>. He agreed to do research, and spent three months exploring the subject of what eventually became the Beatty film <a href="Reds_(film)" title="Reds (film)">Reds</a>. Negotiations with Beatty's lawyers failed.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a>

In the spring of 1977, Chayefsky began work on a project delving into "man's search of his true self." The genesis of the idea was a joke with his friends <a href="Bob_Fosse" title="Bob Fosse">Bob Fosse</a> and <a href="Herb_Gardner" title="Herb Gardner">Herb Gardner</a>. The three cooked up a joke project to remake <a href="King_Kong_(1933_film)" title="King Kong (1933 film)">King Kong</a>, in which Kong becomes a movie star. The comic project got Chayefsky interested in exploring the origins of the human spirit. That evolved into a project updating the theme of <a href="Strange_Case_of_Dr_Jekyll_and_Mr_Hyde" title="Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde">Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</a>.<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a>

Chayefsky conducted research on <a href="Genetics" title="Genetics">genetic</a> regression, speaking to doctors and professors of anthropology and human genetics. He then began a rough outline of a story in which the lead character immerses himself in an <a href="Isolation_tank" title="Isolation tank">isolation tank</a>, and with the aid of <a href="Hallucinogen" title="Hallucinogen">hallucinogens</a> regresses to become a <a href="Homo" title="Homo">prehuman</a> creature. Chayefsky wrote an eighty-seven page treatment and, at the suggestion of Columbia executive <a href="Daniel_Melnick" title="Daniel Melnick">Daniel Melnick</a>, he adapted it into a novel<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a>

Film rights were bought by Columbia Pictures for nearly $1 million, and with the same creative control and financial terms as for Network. Chayefsky suffered greatly from stress while working on the novel, resulting in a heart attack in 1977. The heart attack resulted in strict dietary and lifestyle restrictions.<a href="#cite_note-Guide-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> The novel, titled Altered States, was published by HarperCollins in June 1978 and received mixed reviews. Chayefsky did not promote the book, which he viewed only as a blueprint for the screenplay.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a>

Since his contract gave him creative control, Chayefsky participated in the selection of William Hurt and Blair Brown as the leads. <a href="Arthur_Penn" title="Arthur Penn">Arthur Penn</a> was initially hired as director, but left after disagreements with Chayefsky. He was replaced by <a href="Ken_Russell" title="Ken Russell">Ken Russell</a>.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a><a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a>

Chayefsky made it clear that he would allow no input into the dialogue or narrative, which Russell felt was too "soppy." Russell was confident that he could get rid of Chayefsky, but found that "the monkey on my back was always there and wouldn't let go." Russell was polite and deferential prior to production but after rehearsals began in 1979 "began to treat Paddy as a nonentity" and was "mean and sarcastic," according to the film's producer <a href="Howard_Gottfried" title="Howard Gottfried">Howard Gottfried</a>.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a>

Chayefsky had the power to fire Russell, but was told by Gottfried that he could only do so if he took over direction himself. He left for New York and continued to monitor production. The actors were not permitted to alter the dialogue. Chayefsky later said that in retaliation the actors were instructed to speak their lines while eating or talking too fast. Russell stated that the fast pace and overlapping dialogue was Chayefsky's idea.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a>

Upset by the filming of his screenplay, Chayefsky withdrew from the production of <a href="Altered_States" title="Altered States">Altered States</a> and took his name off the credits, substituting the pseudonym Sidney Aaron.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personality_and_characteristics">Personality and characteristics</h2></div>

In his book Mad as Hell: The Making of Network and the Fateful Vision of the Angriest Man in Movies, journalist <a href="Dave_Itzkoff" title="Dave Itzkoff">Dave Itzkoff</a> wrote that the Howard Beale character in Network was a product of Chayefsky's many frustrations. Itzkoff wrote: "Where others avoided conflict, he cultivated it and embraced it. His fury nourished him, making him intense and unpredictable, but also keeping him focused and productive." Itzkoff describes Chayefsky as "intensely troubled, a huge egomaniac and control freak, dispirited about the world, wryly comic, and a both present and absent family man."<a href="#cite_note-Teeman-55">[55]</a>

In his biography of Chayefsky's friend Bob Fosse, drama critic <a href="Martin_Gottfried" title="Martin Gottfried">Martin Gottfried</a> said Chayefsky was <blockquote>compact and burly in the bulky way of a schoolyard athlete, with thick dark hair and a bent nose that could pass for a streetfighter's. He was a grown-up with one foot in the boys' clubs of his city youth, a street snob who would not allow the loss of his nostalgia. He was an intellectual competitor, always spoiling for a political argument or a philosophical argument, or any exchange over any issue, changing sides for the fun of the fray. A liberal, he was annoyed by liberals; a proud Jew, he wouldn't let anyone call him a "Jewish writer".<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a></blockquote>In his biography Mad as Hell, author Shaun Considine says that Chayefsky had a "dual personality". Chayefsky's "Paddy" persona had "character, caprice; it appealed to his sense of swagger" and gave him confidence to stand up for his rights. "Sidney" was the "silent creator" who had the talent and genius.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a>

Chayefsky was under psychoanalysis for years, beginning in the late 1950s, to deal with his volatile behavior and rage, which at times was difficult to control.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Political_activism">Political activism</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Opposition_to_McCarthyism">Opposition to McCarthyism</h3></div>

Early in his career, Chayefsky was an opponent of <a href="McCarthyism" title="McCarthyism">McCarthyism</a>. He signed a telegram signed by other writers and performers protesting federal inaction after a <a href="Peekskill_riots" title="Peekskill riots">concert</a> featuring <a href="Paul_Robeson" title="Paul Robeson">Paul Robeson</a> in <a href="Peekskill%2C_New_York" title="Peekskill, New York">Peekskill, New York</a>, prompted violence in which 150 persons were injured. As a result, his name appeared in the anti-Communist vigilante publication The Firing Line, published by the <a href="American_Legion" title="American Legion">American Legion</a>. Although Chayefsky feared being subpoeanaed and his career ruined, that never happened. Actress <a href="Betsy_Blair" title="Betsy Blair">Betsy Blair</a> described Chayefsky as a <a href="Social_Democrat" class="mw-redirect" title="Social Democrat">Social Democrat</a> and as an anti-Marxist.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a>

He opposed the <a href="Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> as a "stupid and utterly unnecessary war whose principal victim would be the United States" and sent a letter to President <a href="Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> decrying the <a href="My_Lai_Massacre" class="mw-redirect" title="My Lai Massacre">My Lai Massacre</a>, saying Americans were in danger of turning into "a nation of bad Germans."<a href="#cite_note-:0-77">[77]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Soviet_Jews_and_Israel">Soviet Jews and Israel</h3></div>

In the 1970s Chayefsky worked for the cause of <a href="Soviet_Jews" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Jews">Soviet Jews</a>, and in 1971 went to Brussels as part of an U.S. delegation to the International Conference on Soviet Jewry. Believing that the conference was insufficiently aggressive, he founded a new activist organization in New York, Writers and Artists for Peace in the Middle East. Co-founders included <a href="Colleen_Dewhurst" title="Colleen Dewhurst">Colleen Dewhurst</a>, <a href="Frank_Gervasi" title="Frank Gervasi">Frank Gervasi</a>, <a href="Leon_Uris" title="Leon Uris">Leon Uris</a>, <a href="Gerold_Frank" title="Gerold Frank">Gerold Frank</a> and <a href="Elie_Wiesel" title="Elie Wiesel">Elie Wiesel</a>.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> Chayefsky believed that "Zionists" was a code word for "Jews" by Marxist <a href="Antisemites" class="mw-redirect" title="Antisemites">antisemites</a>.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a>

Chayefsky was increasingly interested in Israel at that time. In an interview with <a href="Women's_Wear_Daily" title="Women's Wear Daily">Women's Wear Daily</a> in 1971, he said that he believed that Jews around the world were in imminent danger of genocide. Journalist Dave Itzkoff writes that in the 1970s his views on Israel possessed a "more aggressive and admittedly paranoid streak."<a href="#cite_note-:0-77">[77]</a> He believed that antisemitism was rife in the U.S., especially in the <a href="New_Left" title="New Left">New Left</a>, and once physically confronted a heckler who used an antisemitic slur during a <a href="David_Steinberg" title="David Steinberg">David Steinberg</a> performance.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> While filming The Hospital, Chayefsky commenced work on a film project called "The Habbakuk Conspiracy," which he described as a "study of life within an Arab guerrilla cell on the <a href="West_Bank" title="West Bank">West Bank</a> of the Jordan." The project was sold to <a href="United_Artists" title="United Artists">United Artists</a> but never filmed, which resulted in lingering resentment toward the studio.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a>

Chayefsky composed, without credit, pro-Israel ads for the <a href="Anti-Defamation_League" title="Anti-Defamation League">Anti-Defamation League</a> at the time of the <a href="Yom_Kippur_War" title="Yom Kippur War">Yom Kippur War</a> in 1973.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> In the late 1970s Writers and Artists for Peace in the Middle East placed full-page newspaper ads written by Chayefsky attacking the <a href="Palestine_Liberation_Organization" title="Palestine Liberation Organization">Palestine Liberation Organization</a> for the <a href="Munich_massacre" title="Munich massacre">massacre of Israeli athletes</a> at the <a href="1972_Summer_Olympics" title="1972 Summer Olympics">1972 Summer Olympics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a>

He rejected <a href="Jane_Fonda" title="Jane Fonda">Jane Fonda</a> and <a href="Vanessa_Redgrave" title="Vanessa Redgrave">Vanessa Redgrave</a> for the role of the female lead in Network because of what he alleged were their "anti-Israel leanings," even though Redgrave was director <a href="Sidney_Lumet" title="Sidney Lumet">Sidney Lumet</a>'s first choice. Redgrave, accepting the <a href="Academy_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actress" title="Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress">Best Supporting Actress</a> <a href="Academy_Awards" title="Academy Awards">Academy Award</a> for <a href="Julia_(1977_film)" title="Julia (1977 film)">Julia</a> at the 1978 Academy Awards, made a statement during her award acceptance speech denouncing protestors who were members of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), led by Rabbi <a href="Meir_Kahane" title="Meir Kahane">Meir Kahane</a>, who burned an effigy of Redgrave outside the Awards site, picketed the Academy Awards ceremony to protest against her, and had earlier called on 20th Century Fox to denounce Redgrave and promise never to hire her again, saying, "You should be very proud that in the last few weeks you have stood firm and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world, and to their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression." Chayefsky, appearing later, upbraided Redgrave and said "a simple 'Thank you' would have sufficed." The Redgrave and Chayefsky remarks prompted controversy.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Family">Family</h2></div>

Chayefsky met his future wife Susan Sackler during his 1940s stay in Hollywood. The couple married in February 1949. Their son Dan was born in 1955.

Chayefsky's relationship with his wife was strained for much of their marriage, and she became withdrawn and unwilling to appear with him as he became more prominent. <a href="Gwen_Verdon" title="Gwen Verdon">Gwen Verdon</a>, wife of his friend Bob Fosse, only saw Susan Chayefsky five times in her life.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a>

Susan Chayefsky suffered from <a href="Muscular_dystrophy" title="Muscular dystrophy">muscular dystrophy</a>, and Dan Chayefsky described himself to author Dave Itzkoff as "a self-destructive teen who brought more pressure to the family home."<a href="#cite_note-Teeman-55">[55]</a> Despite an alleged affair with <a href="Kim_Novak" title="Kim Novak">Kim Novak</a>, which resulted in his asking his wife for a divorce,<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> Paddy Chayefsky remained married to Susan Chayefsky until his death,<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> and sought her opinion on his screenplays, including Network.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> She died in 2000.<a href="#cite_note-Susan_Chayefsky_death_notice-91">[91]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death">Death</h2></div>

Chayefsky contracted <a href="Pleurisy" title="Pleurisy">pleurisy</a> in 1980 and again in 1981. Tests revealed cancer, but he refused surgery out of fear that surgeons would "cut me up because of that movie I wrote about them," referring to The Hospital. He opted for <a href="Chemotherapy" title="Chemotherapy">chemotherapy</a>.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> He died in a New York hospital on August 1, 1981, aged 58, and was interred in the Sharon Gardens Division of <a href="Kensico_Cemetery" title="Kensico Cemetery">Kensico Cemetery</a> in <a href="Valhalla%2C_New_York" title="Valhalla, New York">Valhalla</a>, <a href="Westchester_County%2C_New_York" title="Westchester County, New York">Westchester County, New York</a>.
