Born in Brooklyn on December 11, 1927, he became known as an American film and television screenwriter with a long career in both movies and episodic TV. Reliable sources consistently credit him on films including The Best of Everything, Brainstorm, Warning Shot, The First Deadly Sin, and The Human Shield.
Beyond feature work, he wrote for many television productions and was remembered as a steady, prolific professional. Sources also note that he taught screenwriting in the cinema and television department at the University of Southern California for more than a decade.
Mann Rubin died in West Hills, California, on October 12, 2013. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no author photo is included here.
