Comedy writer and Saturday Night Live pioneer Anne Beatts dies at 74

Beatts died at her home in West Hollywood, California, according to her close friend Rona Kennedy. Kennedy, a film producer and a fellow faculty member at Chapman University, did not immediately know the cause of death. Starting in 1975 and running for five seasons, Beatts was among a team of gifted writers that included Rosie Shuster, Alan Zweibel, Marilyn Suzanne Miller and such cast members as Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase who helped make Saturday Night Live a cultural phenomenon. With Shuster, she would invent the beloved young nerds, the nasally, Marvin Hamlisch-adoring Lisa Loopner (played by Gilda Radner) and Todd DiLaMuca (Bill Murray), and help coin such catchphrases as Lisa’s: “That’s so funny I forgot to laugh.”
