Robert Getchell

Robert Getchell (December 6, 1936 – October 21, 2017) was an American screenwriter. Getchell wrote the 1974 film ''Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore'' and created the sitcom based on that film, ''Alice''. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his screenplays for both ''Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore'' and the subsequent ''Bound for Glory''.

Getchell was also the screenwriter for the 1981 docudrama film ''Mommie Dearest'', based on Christina Crawford's nightmarish childhood with her violent, manipulative, alcoholic adoptive mother, the actress Joan Crawford. The film was intended to be a serious drama about child abuse, but Getchell's unusual script won the Golden Raspberry award that year for worst screenplay, one of the factors that led ''Mommie Dearest'' to be remembered as a cult film.

He died on October 21, 2017, aged 80. Provided by Wikipedia
