Anne Beatts has died. A pioneer in the world of comedy writing, Beatts is probably best known for her five-year run as a writer on the early days of
Saturday Night Live, where, as one of the few women on the show’s writing staff, she helped craft any number of classic characters and sketches. After leaving the series, Beatts went on to create TV of her own, most notably the cult high school sitcom
Square Pegs, helping to launch the career of a young Sarah Jessica Parker in the process. According to
Variety, Beatts’ death was confirmed today by her long-time friend Rona Edwards. Beatts was 74.
Beatts Fred Garvin character, played by Dan Aykroyd served the needs of the ladies of
the Quad Cities, courtesy of the fictitious Great Lakes Feed and Grain Company.
Margot Kidder expertly plays straight man to Aykroyd s awkward yet lovable man of the evening sent to her hotel room, just like they would do for male executives in town on business. Margot is surprised, but accepts the offer of companionship.
What follows can only be described as peak classic SNL comedy, improv and social commentary that put Saturday Night Live at the top of comedy shows. Why Anne Beatts wrote the character sketch taking place in The Quad Cities may be lost to time, especially with her passing.
