Movie
actor and
director, sometimes referred to as the West Coast
Woody Allen,who was born with the name
Albert Einstein. This might explain why he changed his surname to Brooks. His movies are generally
comedies with a sharp
satirical edge and he is not above throwing in a fair amount of self deprecating
one liners here and there. His films include The
Muse, in which he plays a screenwriter afflicted with a bad case of
writer's block, Mother, in which he moves back in with his female parental unit in order to reexamine his relationship with her, and best of all
Defending Your Life, in which he dies and goes to a place called
Judgment City where 9 days from his life are replayed in order to decide his fate.
Comedian Bob Einstein, who is better known as Super Dave Osborne is Albert's brother.
