The great Norman Lear turns 100 today. He’s been creating TV shows and films for more than 70 years and is still going strong. It’s a career that, any decade of which, would make most artists proud.
Among his producing credits are such all-time TV classics as All in the Family and The Jeffersons. Lear wrote for Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Andy Williams and many more. He was an EP on the features Fried Green Tomatoes and The Princess Bride.
He’s won five Emmys — most recently in 2019 — and two Peabodys, was awarded the National Medal of Arts, received a Kennedy Center Honor and and was awarded the Air Medal after flying 52 missions in a B-17 during World War II.
