Writer, Additional Credits
Born June 15, 1919Died July 22, 2010 (91 years)
Alvin Boretz was a prolific writer for stage, screen, radio, and television. With an estimated one thousand dramatic scripts to his credit, Boretz contributed to the Golden Age of Television. Before television became popular, Boretz wrote for radio. In that medium, he honed his language skills and developed a flair for penning dialogue. He became known for strong character development, a feature which, with the sensitive but forthright handling of themes such as divorce, mental retardation and suicide, distinguishes Boretz's critically acclaimed work.
