The 100 Best Screenwriters of All Time

14. Paddy Chayefsky
 
Notable Scripts: 
Marty 
(1955), 
Paint Your Wagon 
(1969), 
The Hospital 
(1971), 
Network 
(1976) 
Oscars: Nominated: Best Original Screenplay, 
The Goddess
. Won: Best Adapted Screenplay, 
Marty
; Best
Original Screenplay,
 The Hospital 
and
 Network.
The same way all idealistic politicians start out wanting to be JFK, all idealistic writers
start out wanting to be Paddy Chayefsky. The Bronx native had a knack for dramatizing the
sins of America’s postwar systems, from the inhumanity of modern medicine in 
The
Hospital
to the mind-numbing amorality of television in 
Network
. (That Chayefsky had
come up through TV only gave the latter’s bite more teeth.) But crucially, he never lost his
common touch: His breakout script, 
Marty
, came from his desire to write “the most
ordinary love story in the world,” with a hero who wasn’t handsome and a love interest who
wasn’t pretty. His work inspired countless good-hearted liberals to pick up a typewriter and
try to write the next Great American Script; only a few, including Aaron Sorkin and David
Simon, even came close. “
Network
is prophetic screenplay that looked into the future with
stunning and troubling prescience,” says Gary Ross. “It predicted the cultural entropy that
allows despots to thrive when truth turns to spectacle. It also examined the fragile, human
cost of that society gone off the rails. I don’t know how he did it, but that isn’t really the
point.”
